During his tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, now the Prime Minister of India, demonstrated a profound dedication to safeguarding the sanctity of the iconic Sabarmati Ashram amidst the construction of the Ahmedabad Metro.

Padma Shri E Sreedharan, popularly known as the Metro Man of India, reminisces about PM Modi’s resolute approach, emphasizing that the then Chief Minister recognized the historical significance of the Sabarmati Ashram and went a step further. He actively engaged in the planning process, leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the construction of the metro station did not disturb the tranquillity of the revered Ashram and its visitors.

Beyond acknowledging the Ashram’s importance, he proactively sought alterations to the original metro plan. This strategic adjustment aimed to minimize any potential chaos or disruption that the metro station’s construction might inflict on the Ashram’s surroundings. PM Modi’s foresight and attention to detail underscored his commitment to the seamless integration of modern infrastructure with historical landmarks.

The realm of thoughts sheds light on PM Modi’s approach to urban development and highlights the delicate balance between progress and heritage preservation. It becomes a case study in leadership, illustrating how a leader’s proactive involvement can make a substantial difference in ensuring that development projects do not compromise the cultural and historical fabric of a region.

A heart-touching letter from PM Modi
December 03, 2024

For Divyang artist Diya Gosai, a moment of creativity turned into a life-changing experience. During PM Modi’s Vadodara roadshow on October 29th, she presented her sketches of him and H.E. Mr. Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Government of Spain. Both leaders stepped out to personally accept her heartfelt gift, leaving her overjoyed.

Weeks later, on November 6th, Diya received a letter from the PM praising her artwork and sharing how even H.E. Mr. Sánchez admired it. PM Modi encouraged her to pursue fine arts with dedication, expressing faith in the youth’s role in building a "Viksit Bharat." He also extended warm Diwali and New Year wishes to her family, showcasing his personal touch.

Overwhelmed with joy, Diya read the letter to her parents, who were elated that she brought such immense honour to the family. "I take pride in being a small part of our country. Thank you, Modi Ji, for giving me your love and blessings," said Diya, adding that receiving the letter from the PM deeply inspired her to take bold actions in life and empower others to do the same.

PM Modi’s gesture reflects his commitment to empowering Divyangs and recognising their contributions. From numerous initiatives like the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan to personal connections like Diya’s, he continues to inspire and uplift, proving that every effort matters in shaping a brighter future.
