JANASENA Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 1) Narendra Modi He did what other candidates couldn't do, get people to vote! One of the most dynamic PM's of India, Namo's oath taking ceremony was attended by all the SAARC representatives. Even though he hails from a humble background, it didn't take him long to become the 15th most powerful man in the world.

He not only won the prestigious award for the man of the tournament at the T - 20 world cup in the earlier part of 2014 , but has also been given the responsibility to captain the team in the absence of Dhoni.

We saw movie stars investing in Kabaddi teams, the teams saw cheerleaders and the game got a face-lift. 2014 got people excited about a game which was almost non existent.

The icing on the cake was the budget; India successfully launched the MOM with a budget that was less than a Hollywood movie.

India declared itself Polio free in 2014. Image Source: Hanson Services 6) Kailash Satyarthi He has worked hard to get people to be against the heinous act of child labor. His continued hard work got the international labour organization to adopt Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention. In 2014 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It surely is a big leap for a sport that doesn't get much attention in the country. Image Source: FIFA 9) Mary Kom A true riser in every sense. Despite her humble background, Mary Kom has done what no other woman in India could do. She won the title of the first Indian woman boxer to win a gold medal in boxing in the Asian games in 2014.
