Atal Bihari Vajpayee is remembered for his visionary leadership, strong democratic values, and balanced approach to nationalism and inclusiveness. During his tenure as Prime Minister, India conducted the Pokhran nuclear tests in May 1998 under Operation Shakti, asserting strategic autonomy and global standing. His slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan” reflected a holistic vision integrating defence, agriculture, and science. Vajpayee’s governance reforms left a lasting imprint on India’s development path, and his birth anniversary is observed as Good Governance Day, highlighting his enduring legacy in public life.
