Prime Minister Modi Pays Homage to Jawaharlal Nehru on His Birth Anniversary
New Delhi: On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, on the occasion of his birth anniversary. Nehru, who was born on November 14, 1889, in Allahabad (now Prayagraj), Uttar Pradesh, was a central figure in India’s freedom movement and played a pivotal role in shaping the newly independent nation.
“On the occasion of his birth anniversary, I pay homage to our former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,” Modi said in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), remembering the legacy of Nehru, who served as India’s Prime Minister from 1947 until his death in 1964.
Nehru’s contributions to India are vast, from his leadership during the struggle for independence to his significant role in establishing democratic institutions and guiding the country through its formative years. His vision for India focused on modernization, education, and national unity, and his policies laid the groundwork for the nation’s development.
The birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru is celebrated every year as Children’s Day in India, a reflection of his deep commitment to children’s education and their role in building the nation’s future.
