Narendra Damodardas Modi
Prime Minister of IndiaBharatiya Janata Party · In office since 2014-05-26(12.3 yrs)
Chief Minister, Gujarat — 3 consecutive terms (Oct 2001 – May 2014)
Education
BA Political Science · Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, 1978
MA Political Science (Entire Political Science) · Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, 1983
Modi's degrees were the subject of RTI queries and legal challenges. Delhi University confirmed a BA conferred in 1978; Gujarat University issued an MA in 1983. The Supreme Court declined to order an investigation in 2016. Opponents have questioned attendance and mode-of-study for both degrees.
Narendra Modi is the 14th Prime Minister of India, first PM from a non-Congress party to serve three consecutive terms. BJP won outright majorities in 2014 and 2019; in 2024 BJP won 240 seats (short of 272 majority) and formed government with NDA allies. Key legislative achievements include GST, IBC, and Citizenship Amendment Act. Critics cite a decline in press-freedom rankings (ranked 159th by RSF in 2024), concerns over minority rights, and economic inequality as areas where governance has fallen short.
