In Indian politics, few journeys are as remarkable as that of Yashasvi Shri Narendra Modi — a leader who rose from the ranks of a political organisation to become Chief Minister of Gujarat, and then Prime Minister of India, shaping the nation’s destiny over a glorious span of two and a half decades. There have been many leaders and public figures who have made notable contributions in their respective areas. Some were known for their administrative capability, while others created a distinct identity through their political skill. But such leaders are rare, who emerge from the organisation, establish an example of their political and administrative efficiency as Chief Minister, and later, as Prime Minister, not only give a new direction to the country’s politics and governance system, but also raise India’s prestige and influence on the global stage to new heights. The public life of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is an example of such an extraordinary journey. As Chief Minister of Gujarat for nearly 13 years, he developed a style of governance that placed development, good governance and public participation at the centre. Thereafter, after assuming the responsibility of Prime Minister of the country in 2014, he took several important steps towards making India self-reliant, secure, prosperous and influential in the world. The most significant feature of his working style is that he does not merely observe circumstances but tries to bring about change in them. Where to remain silent in world politics, where to clearly present India’s position and where to firmly protect India’s interests, Prime Minister Shri Modi has consistently demonstrated this balance in his foreign policy. While giving the highest priority to India’s strategic autonomy and national interests, he has strengthened India’s relations with various centres of power across the world. Today, India is playing its role as an influential power in world politics.
