Narendra Damodardas Modi hails from a family of grocers in a town called Vadnagar in the northern Mehsana district of the state of Gujarat. He was born on 17 September 1950 to Shri Damodardas Mulchand Modi and Smt. Heeraben. They were six siblings, among whom he is the third. Narendra Modi completed his studies against all odds and adversities. His walk through life started as a teenager when he, along with his brother, ran a tea stall near a railway station in Ahmedabad. He did his schooling in Vadnagar and has a master's degree in Political Science from the Gujarat University. One of his school teachers described him as an average student but a brilliant debater. During his college days he acted as a pracharak or propagandist of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). At a later stage during the 1990s when Modi was serving in New Delhi as the official spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he completed a three month course in the US on public relations and image management.

One of his brothers, Soma, is a retired health officer who now runs an old age home in the city of Ahmedabad. His other brother Prahlad, an activist on behalf of fair-price shop owners, has his own fair-price shop in Ahmedabad. His third brother Pankaj is in service with the Information Department in Gandhinagar.
