Prime Minister Narender Modi's mother, Heeraben Modi, passed away at the age of 100 in a hospital in Ahmedabad on Friday.A bulletin from the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre, where she was admitted on Wednesday after her health deteriorated, announced her demise."Heeraben Modi passed away on Dec. 30 at 3.30 a.m. during the treatment at UN Mehta Heart Hospital," according to the bulletin.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often highlighted his mother Heeraben's influence in shaping his life as he rose from a humble family background to become India's prime minister.

The Prime Minister had penned down an emotional and deeply-felt tribute to his mother earlier on her birthday on June 18 this year.

Highlighting her sacrifices and various aspects of her life which shaped his mind, personality and self-confidence, Modi said his mother always inspired him to have a strong resolve and focus on 'garib kalyan' (welfare of the poor), a theme of his government's numerous welfare schemes.

"In my mother's life story, I see the penance, sacrifice, and contribution of India's matrushakti. Whenever I look at mother and crores of women like her, I find there is nothing that is unachievable for Indian women," Prime Minister Modi said.
