How is that Narendra Modi never gets tired? What is the source of his energy that he can keep up with such a demanding schedule, weeks after weeks and yet deliver with machine like consistency the same quality of work every time? This is a question that has often been asked by both supporters of the Prime Minister and indeed those who critically analyze him.

This question was posed directly to him in the first ever Townhall by and in a recent television by a New Delhi based media house. The answer that Narendra Modi gave made practical sense from his personal point of view but has deep philosophical connotations as well -  tiredness is never because of working hard to achieve a mission but more a mental state about work left unfinished or pending. To quote from Modi's own words in the interview to Rahul Joshi, "Actually we get tired by not working and work gives you satisfaction. That satisfaction gives you energy. I have felt this and always tell this to my young friends. Tiredness is more psychological. Everyone has the same capacity needed for the volume of the work. You keep accepting new challenges and your inner self will always back you. This is in-built."

His mantra is simple yet profound - If you are enjoying your work you would never feel tired because you are doing what you are enjoying !

“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.
