Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday expressed profound gratitude for the outpouring of birthday wishes as he turned 75, describing the affection of the people as a “source of great strength.”
Posting on X, the Prime Minister said, “The innumerable wishes and the faith you have reposed in me are a source of great strength. I see them as a blessing not for me alone, but for the work we are doing together to build a better India. I resolve to continue working with even greater energy and devotion, so that we realise our dream of a Viksit Bharat. I have not been able to reply to the wishes individually, but I will say again, this affection has touched my heart deeply. I pray for everyone's good health and well-being.”
He also lauded the countless social service endeavours carried out by citizens across India. “People across India have been doing various social service initiatives, many of which will continue in the coming days. This inherent goodness in our people sustains our society and gives us the courage to overcome all challenges with hope and positivity. I compliment everyone who is at the forefront of such endeavours,” he added.

“Gratitude to Jana Shakti. I am truly overwhelmed by the countless wishes, blessings and messages of affection that have poured in from across the nation and overseas. This affection strengthens and inspires me. I thank the people for the same,” Modi noted.
On the occasion, the Bharatiya Janata Party launched a two-week-long ‘Seva Pakhwada’, with events planned nationwide.
Earlier, Modi inaugurated the ‘Swasth Nari Shashakt Parivar Abhiyaan’ and laid foundation stones for multiple development works in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. Addressing a rally, he emphasised the role of women as a cornerstone of societal progress. “Our Nari Shakti is the foundation of the progress of our nation. If the mother stays healthy, then the whole house stays well. If a mother falls ill, the entire family's system crumbles. That is why the 'Swasth Nari Shashakt Parivar campaign (healthy women, strong family campaign) is dedicated to our mothers and sisters...”
He also launched the state’s 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah campaign and is scheduled to inaugurate the ‘Aadi Seva Parv’ and lay the foundation stone for the PM MITRA Park in Bhainsola village, Dhar district. The park is expected to boost the local textile sector and generate employment for youth.
