PM Narendra Modi’s 75th Birthday: Nationwide Celebrations & Global Wishes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked his 75th birthday on September 17, 2025, with his signature humility—no cake-cutting or fanfare, just a packed day of public service. While admirers across India and the globe showered him with heartfelt wishes, from celebrities like Rajinikanth and Unni Mukundan to world leaders including Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, US President Donald Trump, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, UK PM Rishi Sunak, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi stayed true to form. In Varanasi, his constituency, supporters lit up the Ganga with a special aarti and community drives. The BJP's nationwide "Sewa Pakhwada" (September 17–October 2) kicked off with mega events: the Raktdan Amrit Mahotsav 2.0 blood donation drive spanned India and 70 countries, featuring Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Mansukh Mandaviya rolling up sleeves at camps. Health check-ups, cleanliness drives, tree plantations (like 75 lakh saplings in Odisha), and cataract surgeries (over 1 lakh in Maharashtra) highlighted the focus on service over spectacle. Modi himself jetted to Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, for a roadshow and launched the 'Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan' to boost maternal and child healthcare. He released cheetahs into the wild, unveiled housing projects, and spent time with specially-abled children—mirroring his past birthdays spent on welfare, like vaccine drives during COVID or Namami Gange events. Cabinet colleagues, BJP chief ministers (e.g., Mohan Yadav, Nitish Kumar), and President Droupadi Murmu praised his lifelong dedication, while Bollywood stars and business icons like Bill Gates joined the chorus. As Modi urged buying Swadeshi products from September 22, this birthday underscores his vision: a leader who turns personal milestones into national progress.
