What's PM Modi doing on his 75th birthday? Camps, tribal outreach & more

PM Modi turns 75 today with a day full of events - health camps, tribal schemes, sapling plantation and the launch of a textile park in Madhya Pradesh

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday on Wednesday, September 17, is being marked with a series of health, development, and welfare initiatives by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). From launching health campaigns to inaugurating a major textile park, the day will see a mix of political outreach, welfare measures, and symbolic gestures.

Health, nutrition campaigns from Madhya Pradesh

 

PM Modi will launch the 'Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar' initiative and 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah from Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. According to officials quoted by news agency PTI, more than 100,000 health camps will be organised, making this the largest ever health outreach for women and children in the country.

 

Daily health camps will run across government health facilities nationwide. BJP units will also hold blood donation drives and health check-ups as part of the campaign.

 

The initiatives fall under the party’s 'Sewa Pakhwada' (September 17-October 2), which coincides with Gandhi Jayanti and is observed to mark Modi’s birthday with welfare programmes.
