know that as a first-time MLA he became CM of Gujarat and also as a first-time
MP he became the Prime Minister of India? No doubt, he is also one of the best
applicable Prime Ministerial candidates for the forthcoming Lok Sabha Elections
2019 from Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP). That is why in the Lok Sabha Election
results in 2019, he again became the voice of India.

be, if they want to move ahead, only knowledge can lead them to that path."
Narendra Modi: Early Life, Childhood Days and Education
Narendra Modi was born on 17 September, 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar,
Mehsana district, Bombay State (present Gujarat). His father's name is late
Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his Mother's name is Hiraben Modi, the couple
has six children, he is the third eldest among six. In his childhood days, Modi
helped his father in selling tea at the Vadnagar Railway Station and later ran a tea
stall with his brother near a bus terminus.
In 1967, he had completed his higher secondary education in Vadnagar. At the age
of 8 years, he joined Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He doesn’t want to
marry so he left home at the age of 17 and travelled across the country for the
next two years. In his interviews, he told that in these two years he visited several
ashrams founded by Swami Vivekananda. Then Modi returned to Vadnagar and
after some time he again left for Ahmedabad. There, Modi lived with his uncle, who
worked in the canteen at the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.
Let us tell you that in 1970 that is at the age of 20, he was so influenced by the RSS
that he became the full-time Pracharak and he had formally joined RSS in 1971 at
the age of 21. In his area, in the early 1970s, he set up a unit of RSS's students wing
namely Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. No doubt, his association with the
organisation has significantly benefited his political career. He has completed the
Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the School of Open Learning at
the University of Delhi and later he had completed his Master's degree in political
science from Gujarat University.
In his childhood days, he had faced several difficulties and obstacles, but he took
all the challenges positively and transformed them into opportunities with
courage and strength. After joining RSS, he learned the spirit of selflessness,
social responsibility, dedication, and nationalism. Furthermore, we will study
Narendra Modi's biography.
"Each one of us has a natural instinct to rise, like a flame of the lamp. Let’s
nurture this instinct." - Narendra Modi
