'PM Modi has transformed Antyodaya from philosophy to a tool of inclusive growth'

"Today, as we celebrate the 109th birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, it is necessary to remember how his philosophy remains relevant even today

he political history of India is replete with leaders who steered the nation in different times but very few among them considered politics not a privilege, but a medium of service to people, dedication, and resolve. Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya was one such great soul who used politics as a tool to uplift those living on the margins of society. He propounded the principle that the true test of nation-building lies in whether the fruits of development reach the last man standing in the queue.

For him, Antyodaya was not merely a political slogan, but a mantra for life. He used to say:

“The goal of our politics should not be the attainment of power, but the uplift of society through service”

Today, as we celebrate the 109th birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, it is necessary to remember how his philosophy remains relevant even today. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only imbibed this spirit of Antyodaya but also made it the cornerstone of his policies and style of governance and working.

‘It would not be an exaggeration to say that under the leadership of PM Modi, Antyodaya has been transformed from an idea or philosophy into a practical form of development, a tool to serve the masses’
