PM Narendra Modi Birthday LIVE Updates: UP CM launches health campaign with over 20,000 camps on PM Modi's birthday

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday launched the 'Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan' by rolling out 20,324 health camps across the state, and said that it is a tribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 75th birthday.

Adityanath said that the campaign, which will run for a fortnight, aims to make women's health a mass movement and will focus not only on screening and counselling but also on free treatment for women.

"The programme is being conducted by the health department through health camps in all districts where high-risk women will be screened for blood pressure, diabetes, oral and breast cancer, cervical cancer, anaemia and tuberculosis. Pregnant women will undergo health checkups and children will be immunised," he said.

He said 1.89 lakh Anganwadi centres across the state are also participating in the initiative to raise awareness among women, while more than 500 blood donation drives are being organised to encourage voluntary blood donation. Adityanath hailed PM Modi's leadership, calling him "one of the most visionary and popular leaders in the world" who has transformed every sector, from the economy and infrastructure to education, agriculture and social welfare.

"Under his inspiration, Uttar Pradesh has taken significant steps for women's empowerment over the past eight years -- from free education for girls to the Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana that provides Rs 25,000 from birth to graduation and financial aid of up to Rs 1 lakh for their wedding," he said.

The chief minister said the campaign seeks to connect every citizen of the state to the vision of a healthier and more empowered society.

The CM said about 1 crore women are linked to 10 lakh self-help groups in rural areas, with another 10 lakh engaged in urban regions, helping build a self-reliant Uttar Pradesh and driving large-scale public awareness campaigns. Adityanath expressed confidence that the campaign will lead to significant health awareness and better outcomes for women, calling it "a step towards a stronger, healthier Uttar Pradesh inspired by the prime minister's vision".

PM Narendra Modi Birthday LIVE Updates: On PM Modi's 75th birthday, tales from his childhood

The PM's childhood friend from Vadnagar and classmate, Dashrathbhai Patel, said Modi dreamt of becoming the chief minister of Gujarat way back in 1969, more than three decades before he finally assumed the top office in 2001.

Referring to the prime minister's humble beginnings, he recalled how Modi, while still in school, would go from one compartment to another to sell tea to train passengers at Vadnagar railway station, where his father had a tea stall.

"Modi and I studied together, right from primary school in Vadnagar to college in Visnagar (in Mehsana district). We used to attend RSS shakhas (gatherings of swayamsevaks) together. Modi and his circle of friends once visited my farm, and we all enjoyed 'undhiyu', a delicacy from Surat. We also took part in school plays," he recollected.

"In 1969, Modi and I were walking past a small and dilapidated memorial of twin sisters and singers, Tana and Riri, in Vadnagar (PM's hometown). At that time, Modi told me he will restore the memorial after becoming chief minister. He kept that dream alive for many years. When he finally became CM (in 2001), he kept his promise and ordered the memorial's restoration," he said.

Dashrathbhai said his father used to run a shop at Vadnagar railway station, where Modi's father had a tea stall. In the last few years, the central and state governments have revamped the birthplace of PM Modi.

In 2021, Modi inaugurated the revamped Vadnagar railway station, where he had sold tea during his childhood. As Vadnagar station is a part of the heritage circuit, the tourism ministry spent Rs 8.5 crore to give a heritage look to the existing building and its entry gate.

A heritage school, now known as 'Prerna School', in Vadnagar, where Modi had his initial education, underwent a complete renovation and was inaugurated in January this year by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

An Archaeological Experiential Museum, which highlights Vadnagar's rich history, a cutting-edge sports complex and the redeveloped Sharmishtha lake are among the key development projects the town has witnessed during recent years. At present, a multi-modal transportation hub and public plaza is being developed opposite the Vadnagar railway station.

PM Narendra Modi Birthday LIVE Updates: How Vadnagar celebrated PM Modi's 75th birthday

"A special pooja was held at 7.30 am at the Hatkeshwar Mahadev temple. A havan (fire rituals) will be held at 4 pm and sweets will be distributed," he said.

A cleanliness drive was also held in the town after 9.30 am, he added.

"We have also organised a grand Gujarati folk music (daiyro) programme in the evening for the people of Vadnagar in which famous folk artists like Rajbha Gadhvi and Osman Mir will perform," the leader said.

While PM Modi left his hometown Vadnagar to pursue his political dreams long ago, two of his cousins - Bharatbhai Modi (65) and Ashokbhai Modi (61) - still live in Vadnagar. Both of them are sons of late Narsinhdas Modi, younger brother of the PM's father, Damodardas Modi.

While Bharatbhai runs a grocery shop in a small rented premises, Ashokbhai sells religious and seasonal articles from his modest 4X2 feet shop and earns nearly Rs 5,000 per month.

Ashokbhai has spent his entire life at Vadnagar, while Bharatbhai returned here and opened the rented shop four years ago after retiring from a private job. Almost everyone in the town knows both of them are PM Modi's cousins, but they have not met him for decades and never tried to "encash" their relationship.

"We are all proud that a person like Narendrabhai Modi is born in the Modi family. I extend warm birthday wishes to him. I pray that he achieves more success and takes the country ahead. He is working hard to make India a vishwaguru, and we all are with him in this endeavour," Bharatbhai told PTI.

"Though almost everyone in Vadnagar knows that I am the PM's cousin, I never tried to capitalise on the relationship in any manner. I believe that everyone should write their destiny. If traffic police stop my bike, I humbly pay the fine instead of trying to influence the police by revealing my identity," he said.

Ashokbhai also said he never sought any help from PM Modi despite his modest earnings. "I wish a very happy birthday to Narendrabhai. May God fulfil all his wishes. Though I earn only Rs 5,000 every month, I never thought of asking Modi to help me in any manner," he said.

PM Narendra Modi Birthday LIVE Updates: Rising from margins, he rewrote Indian politics. Now, it is about his legacy shaping the future

Seventy-five is the flavour of the season. After RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat turned 75 last week, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s turn to reach this milestone on Wednesday. And the PM at 75 presents an occasion to look at the strength of our democracy as well as the challenges it faces today.

That somebody from humble beginnings, the son of a tea-seller, could rise to the pinnacle of power bespeaks the strength of our democracy. For all the fault lines in our democracy, every time this happens, it is a strong message about its resilience. One of Lalu Yadav’s associates once told me that during the RJD leader’s visit to Pakistan, ordinary people would ask him how a “gwala”, a cowherd, had become the Bihar Chief Minister.

Modi represents the devolution of power to communities that have been historically on the margins, such as the Other Backward Castes (OBCs). H D Deve Gowda was also an OBC PM, but he was in the saddle for only a few months in 1996-97. Modi is from the Modh-Ghanchi community in Gujarat, who are considered to be backward among even the backwards and while numerically large, had been nationally leaderless.
