Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi got a unique gift on his birthday on September 17. The school where he studied in Gujarat made him the world’s largest greeting card with birthday wishes in 23 languages, his brother said yesterday.
The 14.3-metre-wide and 16.2-metre-long card was specially crafted by students of the B N High School in Vadnagar where Modi studied from Class 8 to 11, the prime minister’s elder brother Somabhai Modi said. Birthday wishes in 23 languages were written on the card, he said.
Moi turned 64 on September 17. Somabhai also said the Namo Tea Stall Owners’ Association of Ahmedabad contributed a day’s income of Rs70,500 for relief measures for the flood-affected people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Guinness World Records officials have been contacted who will send the details of the birthday card to Britain for confirmation of the record.
The current record for the biggest birthday card was registered on March 21 this year in Dubai. That card was 10.29 metres long and 14.8 metres wide.
