The NITI Aayog will conduct five national workshops beginning on November 17 to “draw lessons” from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s experience as head of a government.

The government think tank said in a statement here on Sunday that the series of workshops will contribute to the “nation’s shared knowledge”. The workshops will also document the experiences of those who were part of the Prime Minister’s journey and translate them into knowledge that benefits all.

The five national workshops will focus on the following governance themes: ‘Leadership as Mission’ in November 2026, ‘Governance as Delivery’ in January 2027, ‘Development as Inclusion’ in April 2027, ‘Civilisational Identity’ in July 2027, and ‘India as a Global Force’ in September 2027.

Mr. Modi became the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, and completed 25 years in office last month, marking the longest continuous tenure as the head of an elected government in India.

“Throughout this period, governance has been anchored in the idea of the Pradhan Sevak, under which every office of government exists to serve the citizens,” it said.

The first national workshop, “Leadership as Mission”, will be held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on November 17. “It will study leadership through the specific decisions in which it becomes visible and the manner in which those decisions are translated into outcomes for citizens,” the statement added.

Around 900 participants are expected to attend the workshop; 250 of them will participate directly in the deliberations.
