Every year, September 17, the birthday of PM Narendra Modi, is observed as "Sewa Diwas" across India. The day is dedicated not to grand celebrations but to acts of service, charity, and social welfare, reflecting Modi's belief that true celebration lies in serving the nation and its people. The tradition of marking the Prime Minister's birthday as Sewa Diwas began in 2014, after he took office.
