vajpayee-s-spirit-of-service-inspires-on-death-anniv-pm-modi

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid homage to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his death anniversary, stating that Vajpayee’s commitment to India’s progress remains a source of inspiration in the nation’s journey toward development and self-reliance.

“Remembering Atal Ji on his Punya Tithi. His dedication and spirit of service towards the all-round progress of India continue to inspire everyone in building a Viksit (developed) and Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) India,” Modi posted on X.

Vajpayee, born on December 25, 1924, in Gwalior, served as Prime Minister three times — briefly in 1996, from 1998 to 1999, and for a full term between 1999 and 2004. He was the first Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to win two successive mandates.

The proposal aims to include key positions such as Minister of External Affairs, Leader of the Opposition, and chairman of several important parliamentary committees. The goal of this project is to promote collective health through occupational therapy. The proposal aims to participate in the Quit India Movement as a student in 1942. Vajpayee, who graduated in political science and law, became very interested in international relations, and this interest helped shape his role as the External Affairs Minister.
