Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is preparing to launch his book ‘Apnapan’ on May 26, encompassing three decades of his public life, insights into Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, and their collaborative efforts for the nation. In a recent video message, Chouhan described PM Modi as a dedicated leader with profound aspirations, emphasizing the invaluable learning experience gained from working alongside him.
Chouhan expressed the challenges of encapsulating his extensive public service journey, particularly his close association with the Prime Minister, into the book. He highlighted PM Modi’s relentless commitment to national service, underscoring his compassion towards diverse segments of society, including the underprivileged, youth, and women, beyond his public persona.
The Union Minister emphasized that authentic leadership emanates from selfless dedication, discipline, and genuine connections with the populace, rather than mere rhetoric. He underscored the book’s purpose as a conduit to share his profound encounters with PM Modi and inspire future leaders to align national objectives with citizen welfare for transformative progress.
Reflecting on the essence of effective leadership, Chouhan stressed the significance of resolute determination over prestigious positions, citing PM Modi’s life as a testament to this ethos. He expressed confidence that ‘Apnapan’ would motivate readers, particularly the youth, to actively engage in nation-building through values of service, empathy, patriotism, and public welfare.
