Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrates his 74th birthday today with a visit to Odisha, where he will inaugurate significant welfare initiatives. These include the 'Subhadra Yojana,' a financial assistance scheme providing ₹10,000 annually to over 1 crore women in need. Additionally, Modi will unveil 26 lakh PM Awas houses in Bhubaneswar, marking a key development on his birthday.

Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Narendra Modi served as the state's Chief Minister for over 12 years before becoming Prime Minister in 2014. As he turns 74, let’s look back at how he has celebrated his birthdays over the past five years:

2023: Last year, Modi introduced the 'PM Vishwakarma Yojana,' a groundbreaking scheme aimed at supporting peasants, craftsmen, and artisans across India. Alongside this, he launched two major projects—the India International Convention and Expo Centre (IICC) and the extension of the Delhi Airport Express line. In Varanasi, his constituency, well-wishers celebrated by cutting a 73-kg laddoo cake symbolizing his age.

2022: Modi's 72nd birthday saw the release of cheetahs into Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park. These cheetahs were flown in from Namibia as part of the Cheetah Reintroduction Project, marking a historic moment in wildlife conservation.

2021: On his 71st birthday, Modi marked the day with an impressive milestone—2.26 crore COVID-19 vaccinations administered across the country in a single day. This special drive accelerated India's fight against the pandemic.

2020: Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, Modi's 70th birthday was a low-key affair. The BJP organized 'Sewa Saptah' camps, providing food and essential supplies to the underprivileged. Blood donation camps were also set up to mark the day.

2019: On his 69th birthday, Modi visited the Statue of Unity in Gujarat. He also participated in the 'Namami Narmada' festival in Kevadiya, celebrating the Narmada dam reaching its full reservoir capacity. The day was marked by public gatherings and speeches, with festivities honoring this significant milestone.
