Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to celebrate his birthday on Tuesday, September 17, with festivities already underway in Surat, Gujarat. The local community is gearing up for the occasion with great enthusiasm, as several businesses have pledged to offer significant discounts, and some are even providing services entirely free of charge.
Like every year, this time too PM Modi’s birthday is going to be special. On the occasion of PM Modi’s birthday, 4,000 kg of vegetarian food will be served at Rajasthan’s famous Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
This time too BJP is going to start ‘Seva Pakhwada‘ or ‘Seva Parv’ on 17th September on the occasion of PM Modi’s birthday. Under this, blood donation camps and cleanliness drive will be organised across the country. Actually Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the most important programme of Modi government.
BJP leader Purnesh Modi in Gujarat announced that numerous local traders in his constituency will offer discounts ranging from 10% to 100% in honor of PM Modi’s birthday. This tradition in Surat sees businesses engaging in charitable acts to commemorate the Prime Minister’s special day. This year, a diverse array of businesses, including hotels, restaurants, clinics, vegetable markets, and bakeries, are expected to participate.
Purnesh Modi stated, “Each year, we engage in service work to honor PM Modi’s birthday. This time, 2,500 traders will be offering discounts between 10% to 100%, with 110 auto-rickshaws providing 100% discounts on rides. Although we make an appeal for participation, every business joins the effort voluntarily.”
The auto-rickshaw union in Surat is also joining the festivities. Union president Raju Bhandari announced that they would celebrate the Prime Minister’s birthday as Seva Diwas (Day of Service) by providing free auto-rickshaw rides.
Local shopkeepers are eager to offer discounts, and customers are taking full advantage of the special offers. One customer expressed, “We are here shopping for the upcoming festivals and learned that PM Modi’s birthday is on September 17. The discounts available are great, so we’ve decided to buy more items.” This highlights how the festive spirit, combined with the promise of savings, is encouraging community participation in the celebrations.
On his birthday, PM Modi will be in Odisha to launch the Subhadra Yojana, a scheme aimed at empowering women in the state. BJP MP Sambit Patra shared that this initiative fulfills a promise PM Modi made during his election campaign, committing to provide financial support of Rs 50,000 annually to women. During the event, the Prime Minister will release the first installment of Rs 5,000 to 1.3 crore women beneficiaries.
The Subhadra Yojana is viewed as a significant step toward enhancing the financial independence and wellbeing of women in Odisha, reflecting PM Modi’s long-standing commitment to women’s empowerment and social welfare. The timing of the launch on his birthday further emphasizes the day’s significance, blending personal celebration with impactful governance.
PM Modi’s 73rd birthday is set to be marked by a blend of local festivities, charitable acts, and significant political milestones, particularly for the women of Odisha. As businesses in Surat join the celebration with various discounts and services, the day will also be remembered for the launch of a scheme that could benefit millions across the country.
