New Delhi: Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided not to celebrate his birthday but he got a unique gift on his birthday.
B N High School in Vadnagar, the school where he studied from Class 8 to 11 made him the world's largest greeting card with birthday wishes in 23 languages, his elder brother Somabhai Modi, said on Saturday.
Guinness World Records officials have been contacted who will send the details of the birthday card to Britain for confirmation of the record.
The 14.3-metre-wide and 16.2-metre-long card was specially crafted by students of the school.
The Prime Minister turned 64 on September 17.
Somabhai also said the Namo Tea Stall Owners' Association of Ahmedabad contributed a day's income of Rs.70,500 for relief measures for the flood-affected people of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said followers, fans and friends of Prime Minister Modi had planned to celebrate his birthday by presenting a 3.5-tonne steel sheet as a birthday card.
But to honour the prime minister's message not to celebrate his birthday and contribute to flood relief in Kashmir, the plan was dropped.
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.
