“For us protection of environment is an article of faith. We have natural resources because our previous generations protected these resources. We must do the same for our future generations.” – PM Narendra Modi

PM Modi’s personal endeavour has enabled India foster a policy of environmental protection and climate change. Be it the ‘International Solar Alliance’ or the ‘LiFE Mission’, both of these initiatives have resonated at a global scale enabling the meeting of energy demands through renewable sources of energy, thereby promoting an environmental consciousness.


Suresh Prabhu, Former Union Minister narrates an incident showcasing PM Modi’s effort towards environment conservation and climate change. Gujarat became the first state to have a ‘Department of Climate Change’ when PM Modi was the CM of Gujarat. This was an unprecedented development as even the Ministry of Environment at the central level then, had not integrated the concept of climate change.


Mr. Prabhu was a part of an organisation called the Climate Group which would organise various meetings and events, where in PM Modi was a regular participant. It was in one of these meetings when PM Modi told Mr. Prabhu that India cannot import its energy demands and will soon have to become Aatmanirbhar with this regard.


PM Modi envisaged the ‘Global Solar Alliance’ which also served as a platform to popularise the need for solar energy as a renewable source of energy. He even wrote a letter to the then PM for implementing the same which didn’t materialise. Mr. Prabhu who was then the Chairman of Energy, Environment and Water attempted to implement and popularise PM Modi’s vision of solar energy.


When PM Modi became the Prime Minister of India, the International Solar Alliance was established with its headquarters in India. PM Modi enabled prominence to the International Solar Alliance which was the first global organization to be headquartered in India. Even developed countries like the US wished to be a part of this initiative, showcasing how PM Modi made his efforts of environmental protection resonate globally, benefitting several countries attain their renewable energy targets, generating an environmental consciousness.

കാര്യകർത്താക്കളോടുള്ള പ്രധാനമന്ത്രി മോദിയുടെ ആഴമായ ആദരവ് വെളിപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ഒരു ലളിതമായ നീക്കം, ബിജെപി ദേശീയ പ്രസിഡന്റ് നിതിൻ നബിൻ ജി അനുസ്മരിക്കുന്നു
January 21, 2026

During the National Executive meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Patna, an incident left a lasting impression on the now BJP President Shri Nitin Nabin Ji and offered a quiet yet powerful lesson in leadership.

Senior leaders from across the country were arriving in Patna for a major rally. Nitin Nabin Ji was part of the team responsible for receiving leaders at the airport and escorting them according to protocol. As leaders arrived, they followed the standard process and proceeded directly to their vehicles.

When PM Modi arrived, he was welcomed and requested to move towards the car. Before doing so, he paused and asked whether the karyakartas were waiting outside. On being informed that many karyakartas were standing there, he immediately said that he would like to meet them first.

Instead of sitting in the vehicle, the PM chose to walk on foot. As the car followed behind, he personally greeted the workers, accepted garlands with his own hands, folded his hands in respect and acknowledged each karyakarta present. Only after meeting everyone did he proceed to his vehicle and depart.

Though the conference itself was brief, the gesture left a deep and lasting impact. PM Modi could have easily remained in the car and waved, but he chose to walk alongside the workers and personally honour them. This moment reflected his sensitivity and his belief that every worker, regardless of position, deserves respect.

Nitin Nabin Ji explains that this incident taught him the true meaning of leadership. For Narendra Modi Ji, leadership is rooted in humility, emotional connection and constant engagement with the grassroots. Respect for workers and open communication are not symbolic acts, but core values of all the karyakartas, leaders and the entire Party.

This ethos, where karyakartas are treated with dignity and warmth, defines the BJP’s organisational culture. It is this tradition that strengthens the Party’s roots and prepares ordinary people to shoulder national responsibilities.
