Prime Minister Narendra Modi went through different stages of life, but his thoughts and actions have always been consistent. The strong flow of feelings towards society and social harmony has been flowing continuously in his heart. He has a unique vision and approach towards society. His radical thought extends to his social dealings too and his focus is always on the happiness of the common man.
Narendra Bhai has always worked untiringly for equality, love and harmony. His persona signifies consistency in thoughts, beliefs and lifestyle. He is intensely focused on finding measures to eradicate sorrows from the lives of the deprived and persecuted.
The concept of a welfare state which gives the highest priority to the well-being and happiness of its people has long been advocated by our Indian culture. The true measure of the progress of any state is the extent of progress achieved by the underprivileged. True development is that which brings the fruits of happiness even to the last person in the remotest backward area.
This book is a compilation of the articles written by Shri Narendra Modi which shows his love for the under-privileged, his endeavour to share in their joys and sorrows, the excellence of his thought processes and his sensitivity towards the society.

Narendra Modi has become a ray of hope for 125 crore Indians—from a humble farmer to an ambitious industrialist—having taken the route to good governance after being sworn as India’s Prime Minister in May 2014. His concern for common Indian can be
seen in all his actions and he is committed to the upliftment of weaker sections of the society. He has been writing since he was young and is a poet, orator, conversationalist and harbinger of Indianness.
The game-changer of Indian politics, Modi had taken the mesmeric hold over Gujarat masses with three consecutive victories in the state assembly elections and was a senior campaign adviser drawing unprecedented crowds for Lok Sabha 2014 elections. After getting elected PM, Modi is often echoed in 24×7 Breaking News on media channels and enjoys good rapport with the top world leaders whom he visited during his six months of Prime Minister-ship. His initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Swachchha Bharat Abhiyan’ have been widely lauded. Modi has called for innovative effort to make renewable energy, especially solar energy, competitive with conventional energy and pitched for global cooperation on repatriation of black money.
