National Workshops Launched to Learn from 25 Years of PM Modis Leadership

New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : NITI Aayog is set to commence a series of five national workshops aimed at harnessing insights from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years of leadership. This initiative was announced in an official statement released on Sunday.

The workshops will focus on studying a quarter-century of PM Modi’s public leadership, with the goal of transforming these learnings into shared knowledge for the nation. The experiences of those involved in this journey will be documented and converted into useful insights for broader benefit.

Prime Minister Modi began his political career on October 7, 2001, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. After serving over twelve years in that role, he became the Prime Minister in May 2014 and is currently in his third consecutive term. His tenure marks the longest continuous service of any elected head of government in India, reaching 25 years on October 7, 2026. Throughout this period, governance has been guided by the principle of ‘Prime Servant,’ emphasizing that every government position exists to serve the citizens.

The concept of Antyodaya has been pivotal in measuring progress through the lens of the most marginalized individuals in society. Public participation has transformed development into a people’s movement. The principles of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas” have strengthened this collective national endeavor. The statement emphasizes that the goal of a developed India by 2047 provides long-term direction for planning and action as the country approaches the centenary of independence.

According to the announcement, much of what India has learned from governing at such a scale is embedded in the experiences of officials, institutions, and citizens who have made and implemented these decisions. The workshop series aims to document these direct experiences and analyze them academically. Based on this analysis, institutional study materials will be created, including case studies, research papers, and educational resources for civil servants, training institutions, universities, students, and the general public.

The five workshops will address various governance-related themes. The first, titled “Leadership as a Mission,” will take place on November 17, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. This session will examine leadership through key decisions that reflect it and how these decisions translate into outcomes for citizens.

Approximately 900 participants are expected to attend the first workshop, with 250 actively engaging in discussions. This group will include secretaries and senior officials from central and state governments, as well as district collectors from aspirational districts. Additionally, 25 students from leading institutions and universities, along with 50 community partners and beneficiaries from national flagship programs, will participate.

Discussions will be facilitated by 25 case facilitators trained under the Capacity Building Commission’s “Amrit Gyan Kosh” initiative. The proceedings of the workshop will be live-streamed on the IGoT Karmayogi platform.
