India is the youngest country in the world. More than 65% of the population is under 35 years of age and about 22 crore youth fall in the age group of 18 to 29 years. In such a situation, the support of the youth is decisive for any leader. Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only did this big people in his favor but also made them an active partner in the creation of a new India.
On September 17, PM Narendra Modi is completing 75 years. This age also seems to be only a number in front of their enthusiasm and energy. Let us understand the 10 reasons from which PM Modi becomes the biggest inspiration and icon of the youth.
1. Strong and confident leadership image
Before the year 2014, an image of decisionlessness had been created in Indian politics. After Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the youth first saw that no leader backs down in taking big and adventure decisions. Whether it is demonetisation, implementing GST or recently there are changes in public interest in GST rates. The release of Abhinandan, surgical strike, Operation Sindoor should be a decisive step. Recently, the tariff imposed by America could not shake Modi. They are doing their work peacefully. The youth of the country find this courage and confidence in the leadership.
2. Travel from struggle to success
The stories of Narendra Modi’s Struggle and Haslers attract Indian youth. Modi’s childhood was simple. He used to help his father at the tea shop, but today he is counted among the most powerful leaders in the world. According to the Forbes (2024) list, Modi is among the top-10 most influential leaders in the world. This journey assures the youth that impossible can be made possible by hard work, vision and dedication.
3. Digital and technology-friendly thinking
The Modi government played an important role in promoting internet revolution in India. So far, more than 80 crore people have adopted digital payments from the Digital India (2015) program. UPI (Unified Payments Interface) set the record for the most digital transactions in the world. More than 12 billion UPI transactions took place every month in 2024. Modi himself remains active on social media. As of September 2025, Twitter (x) has more than 109 million followers and on Facebook over 51 million followers, which includes the world’s most followed politicians. He is active on every platform of social media. Needless to say that the youth are using social media the most.
4. Startup India and new ways of employment
So far, more than 1.2 lakh startups have been registered with the Startup India campaign started in 2016. Many of these have unicorn ($ 1 billion value). Today, youth are not just looking for jobs, but are becoming jobbers. The policies of the Modi government played a decisive role in this change.
5. Nationalism and the combination of the spirit of youth
The heart of the youth is always full of passion and passion. Modi connected this energy of youth to the spirit of nationalism. After the 2019 Balakot air strike, the emergence of patriotism among the youth was clearly seen in his support. The youth want to see Strong India today and Modi’s policies assured him that India is no longer a weak link but a global power.
6. Personality and speech art
The personality of the leader has a major impact on the youth. Modi’s dress, the style of dialogue and the energy of speeches make him special. In any gathering, when they start with local language, what young, what others, everyone starts liking. Mann Ki Baat program (since 2014) worked to connect crores of youth directly to them. PM Modi has been continuously talking about mind on the last Sunday of every month, which people of 95% of the district have heard in some form. Their public meetings are not only fascinated by publicity, they have been using their own platforms for their supporters.
7. Sports and Fitness Icon
Modi’s important initiative was to connect the youth with fitness and sports.
• Fit India Movement (2019) inspired millions of youth.
• International Yoga Day (2015) is celebrated in more than 190 countries today.
• He met the players on many forums and encouraged them. Personal meetings with medal winners of the Olympics and Asian Games became motivations for the youth.
8. Skill India and Employment Opportunities
The biggest challenge of the youth of India is employment. The government took several steps to solve this. So far, more than 1.5 crore youth have been trained from the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY). Under the Mudra Yojana (2015), more than 44 crore loans were given, of which 68% of the beneficiaries were women and youth. This data shows that the Modi government did not just ‘tox’ to the youth but to give concrete opportunities.
9. Public appeal of communication
Youth needs leaders who speak their language. Modi not only uses Hindi, English, Gujarati, but also social media slang. The reach of his rallies and speeches is tremendous. Whenever they are in the middle of the public, it becomes difficult to guess the number of listeners. People join their own social media account, they also have a live presence on the party’s account.
10. Improves India’s global image
Modi gave India a strong position on the global map.
• In 2023, India hosted the G20 Summit, which was the historic moment of the country’s diplomacy.
• His presence on forums like UN, BRICS and Quad made Indian youth proud.
• According to the Pew Research Survey released in 2024, 60% of Indian youth believe that image in the world of India has improved in Modi rule.
In such a situation, it is clear that PM Modi is not just a politician, but a role model established for the youth. His energy, national approach, digital thinking, employment and attention on skills and the strategy of making India global power have made him a favorite of youth. Even at the age of 75, his activism and commitment proves that the real strength is not in age, but in dreams and efficiency.
