ALL ABOUT NARENDRA MODI


Introduction:

Narendra Modi is an Indian politician and the current Prime Minister of India. He was born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, a small town in the state of Gujarat, India. Modi was a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since his teenage years and worked as a full-time pracharak (campaigner) for the organization in the 1970s. He joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 1985 and rapidly rose through the ranks to become the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001, a position he held until 2014, when he was elected as the Prime Minister of India. In this blog, we will discuss the life, career, and achievements of Narendra Modi.

Early Life and Education:

Narendra Modi was born to a family of grocers in Vadnagar, a small town in the state of Gujarat, India. He was the third of six children born to Damodardas Modi and Heeraben Modi. Modi completed his schooling from Vadnagar and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Delhi University. However, he did not pursue further studies and joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a full-time campaigner in the 1970s. 

Political Career:

Modi's political career began in 1985 when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He was appointed as the General Secretary of the BJP's Gujarat unit in 1988 and worked hard to strengthen the party's organization in the state. Modi was appointed as the National Secretary of the BJP in 1995 and was given the responsibility of overseeing the party's activities in the states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Modi's big break came in 2001 when he was appointed as the Chief Minister of Gujarat following the resignation of the then Chief Minister, Keshubhai Patel. Modi faced a daunting task as Gujarat had just experienced one of the worst communal riots in its history. However, Modi took charge of the situation and initiated a series of measures to restore peace and harmony in the state.As Chief Minister, Modi introduced a number of reforms aimed at accelerating Gujarat's economic growth. He set up a number of industrial parks and invited foreign investors to set up businesses in the state. His efforts paid off as Gujarat emerged as one of the fastest-growing states in India, with a growth rate of over 10% per annum. Modi's tenure as Chief Minister was not without controversy. His government was accused of turning a blind eye to the communal riots that took place in Gujarat in 2002, in which over 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed. Modi denied the allegations and claimed that his government had taken all necessary steps to restore peace in the state. In 2013, Modi was appointed as the Chairman of the BJP's National Campaign Committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Modi campaigned vigorously and led the BJP to a historic victory, winning over 282 seats out of 543 in the lower house of the Indian parliament. Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014.

HOW TO STUDY FOR LONG HOURS:-   1. Prioritize your schedule: take up difficult topics early in the day Take up the difficult material in the forenoon when you’re at your best, energy wise.

For the same reason, to the extent possible, schedule your low-effort, non-academi
