Prime Minister Narendra Modi is celebrating his 76th birthday today, September 17, 2026. To mark this occasion, the Bharatiya Janata Party is organizing numerous public service and social programs across the country. The BJP has launched a month-long “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan” from September 17 to October 17 to mark the PM’s birthday and his 25 years in public life. This campaign includes blood donation camps, health checkups, cleanliness drives, tree plantation, and other public welfare activities.
A special festival of lights is being organized in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, to mark the PM’s birthday. More than 2.5 million earthen lamps will be lit on the banks of the Shipra River and in the Mahakal Lok Kshetra. The event has been named “Aashirwad Ka Diya.” The entire region has been divided into sectors and sub-sectors, and thousands of volunteers have been assigned responsibilities. According to the administration, preparations have been made to keep the event “zero-waste” and to focus on cleanliness and waste management.
Various events are also being held in other parts of the country to mark the PM’s birthday. In Gujarat, under the “Aashirwad No Divdo” program, plans are underway to light over 8.8 million diyas at over 18,500 locations. Additionally, events such as tree plantation, cow service, and bike rides are also being organized. A bike ride from Vadnagar to Varanasi is also being organized in Gujarat, marking the completion of 25 years of Modi’s public life.
Leaders from various political parties, including President Draupadi Murmu, have extended their greetings to PM Modi on his birthday. According to the BJP, the “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan” focuses primarily on public participation and public service. Health camps, blood donation, cleanliness, tree planting, and awareness activities related to government schemes are also being organized in Delhi, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, and several other states.
