New Delhi, Sep 17
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrates his 75th birthday on Wednesday, British Monarch King Charles, inspired by the Indian leader's ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, sent him a Kadamb tree sapling while extending birthday wishes to him.
While sharing the picture of the Kadamb tree sent to PM Modi on his birthday, the British High Commission in India stated, "His Majesty The King has been graciously pleased to send a Kadamb tree to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday. The gesture, inspired by PM Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, reflects their shared commitment to environmental conservation."
The British High Commission in India recalled PM Modi's gift to King Charles during his visit to the United Kingdom in July, this year.
Born on September 17, 1950, in the small town of Vadnagar in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s journey has been one of determination, self-discipline, and dedication. The son of Damodardas Modi, a tea seller, and Heeraben Modi, a homemaker, he grew up in modest circumstances with four brothers and one sister.
