  Narendra Modi birthday LIVE: ‘Golden Bird’ to ‘Golden Lion’, Avaada Group chairman Vineet Mittal wishes PM Modi

  Narendra Modi birthday LIVE: Avaada Group's comment on PM Modi's 76th birthday -

  India, once considered ‘Golden Bird’, emerging as the ‘Golden Lion’ under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Vineet Mittal

  Extending his heartfelt wishes to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on his 76th birthday, Vineet Mittal, Chairman, Avaada Group, said that a nation moves forward when its people begin to believe they can.

  We see it in the small vendor accepting a digital payment. In a woman opening her first bank account. In a young engineer building something in India for the world. And in a child watching Chandrayaan-3, discovering that even the Moon is within the reach of Indian dreams.

  Jan Dhan, UPI, expanding infrastructure and Make in India have helped give this confidence a practical foundation—connecting aspiration with opportunity.

  “भारत कभी सोने की चिड़िया कहलाता था। आज आपके नेतृत्व में वह सोने का शेर बनने की ओर बढ़ रहा है—समृद्ध भी, समर्थ भी, अपनी रक्षा के लिए संकल्पबद्ध भी। (India was once known as the 'Golden Bird'. Today, under your leadership, it is moving towards becoming a 'Golden Lion'—prosperous, capable, and resolute in its own defence),” Mittal said.

  The push to develop indigenous defence capabilities and modern military technologies gives strength to this aspiration. A Bharat that builds its own capabilities can better protect its people, safeguard its sovereignty and stand for peace with confidence.

  “As someone working to build India’s clean-energy future, I feel this responsibility every day. Every solar project, every manufacturing facility and every young person trained reminds me that nation-building happens through work. Through hands that build, minds that innovate and promises that are kept.”

  For me, the promise of clean energy is deeply human: a farmer with dependable daytime power, a family generating electricity on its rooftop, a young person finding skilled work close to home.

  “सूरज की रोशनी जब घर की खुशहाली बने, तभी प्रगति का अर्थ पूरा होता है। (True progress is realized only when sunlight becomes the source of a home's prosperity),” he said.

  India’s growing ambition in renewables, storage and green hydrogen gives us an opportunity to build prosperity that serves both our people and our planet.

  “Modi ji, your conviction in an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat calls upon each of us to contribute—to build with integrity, create opportunities and serve with purpose. On your birthday, my prayer is for your good health, strength and continued service to Bharat. My resolve is to contribute with greater dedication to the nation we are building together,” he added.

  Narendra Modi LIVE updates: BJP MP Raghav Chadha wrote on X, "We often wonder what true leadership is. At its core, it is having the vision for the future, the determination to deliver, and the grace to face difficult moments. But perhaps the greatest quality is the ability to bring people together with a shared sense of hope and purpose. It is to inspire confidence that something greater can be achieved together.

  And sometimes, the clearest way to understand leadership is through the example of a leader who has embodied these qualities over time. That is what makes the journey of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inspiring. From a humble background to the highest office in the country, his journey is a reminder to young Indians of what determination, hard work and perseverance can achieve.

  The confidence he has brought to India and the transformative difference his leadership has made in the lives of millions continue to inspire admiration.

  For our generation, he has helped create a more confident India. For the next, he is building towards the dream of a Viksit Bharat.

  Wishing Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi

  Ji a very happy birthday. May he be blessed with good health, renewed strength and many more fulfilling years of service to our country and our people."

  I’ve seen changes in Indian sport I could barely have imagined growing up. The support, the opportunities and the belief have meant so much. Across fields, a generation of Indians has learnt to take on the world’s biggest names and believe we belong alongside them.

  But it’s the personal moments I treasure. Sharing an ice cream with you. Watching you laugh with my then coach, Park, and knowing he would remember it for the rest of his life. You have an innate ability to make people feel warm, welcome and loved.

  I remember your hour-long conversation with my husband, Datta, about identifying unique citizen records, or “golden records” at 10:30 in the night. Back in the car, he couldn’t stop wondering how the Prime Minister knew so much about such a deeply technical subject. Your curiosity stayed with him as much as your warmth.

  Happy birthday to our beloved Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji.

  With a daughter’s affection, I wish you good health, happiness and many more years of service to our great country and its people. Thank you for always making us feel that our dreams matter to you."
