Shri Narendra Modi is a great dreamer, who has the remarkable ability to

transform his dreams into reality. His supreme dream is the regeneration and
transformation of Gujarat, and eventually his motherland emerging as a
developed and powerful nation. His dream for India encompasses an extensive
range one that vitally fosters agricultural research, protection of the
environment, infrastructure as the lifeline of industry and global investments.
In short, the emergence of a new and happy society celebrating the endless
festival of life! Shri Narendra Modi has a reputation for being a hard
taskmaster and strict disciplinarian but at the same time he is an embodiment
of strength and compassion.
Here is a man who has great faith in education as a means of integral human
development and progress to take society far beyond the encircling darkness,
gloom and poverty. He emphasises the spread of education especially that of
girls which has so far been largely neglected.
Shri Narendra Modis love for education is revealed in his respect for teachers
and in Kanya Kelavani Yojana, an initiative which is very close to his heart,
ushering in an era of enlightenment and empowerment right at the grass root
level. Where else will you find a chief minister camping in remote villages in
the heat and dirt to encourage parents to educate their daughters?
With a profound interest in technology and science, Shri Narendra Modi has
sculpted Gujarat into an e-governed state and has fostered several innovative
applications of technology. Initiatives such as Swagat Online and Tele Fariyad
have brought in e-transparency and put the citizens in direct contact with the
highest office in administration. It is so rare to find a chief minister lending
such an attentive ear to the grievances of the common man and ensuring that
the issues get resolved in a definite time frame.
Shri Narendra Modi, a big believer in people, has skilfully led the half a
million strong team of government employees into new realms of a proactive
work culture through a continuous learning initiative called Karmayogi
Maha Abhiyan. Gujarat has a chief minister so concerned about transforming
Sarkari Karmacharis into Asar Kari Karmayogis (a band of effective workers).
Shri Narendra Modi is both a realist and an idealist with robust optimism. He
has imbibed the noble view that not failure but low aim is a crime. He values
clarity of vision, sense of purpose and diligent perseverance as essential
qualities for achievement in any walk of life. Concern for his land and people
has been uppermost in his mind.
