Narendra Modi: Early Life, Childhood Days and Education


Narendra Modi was born on 17 September, 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar, Mehsana district, Bombay State (present Gujarat). His father name is late Damodardas Mulchand Modi and Mother's name is Hiraben Modi and the couple has six children, he is the third eldest among six. In his childhood days, Modi helped his father in selling tea at the Vadnagar Railway Station and later ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminus.

In 1967, he had completed his higher secondary education in Vadnagar. At the age of 8 years, he joined Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He doesn’t want to marry so he left home at the age of 17 and travelled across the country for the next two years. In his interviews, he told that in these two years he visited several ashrams founded by Swami Vivekananda. Then Modi returned to Vadnagar and after some time he again left for Ahmedabad. There, Modi lived with his uncle, who worked in the canteen at the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.

Let us tell you that in 1970 that is at the age of 20, he was so influenced by the RSS that he became the full-time Pracharak and he had formally joined RSS in 1971 at the age of 21. In his area, in the early 1970s, he set up a unit of RSS's students wing namely Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. No doubt, his association with the organisation has significantly benefited his political career.  He has completed the Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from School of Open Learning at the University of Delhi and later he had completed his Master degree in political science from Gujarat University.

In his childhood days, he had faced several difficulties and obstacles, but he took all the challenges positively and transformed them into opportunities by courage and strength. After joining RSS, he learned the spirit of selflessness, social responsibility, dedication and nationalism. Furthermore, we will study in Narendra Modi biography.
