MANN KI BAAT
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said in his 104th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on August 27 that India’s Mission Chandrayaan is also a live example of woman power. He added that many women scientists and engineers have been directly involved in this entire mission. We are publishing brief highlights of the address for our esteemed readers :
On the 23rd of August, India and India’s Chandrayaan have proved that some suns of resolve rise on the moon as well. Mission Chandrayaan has become a symbol of the spirit of New India, which wants to ensure victory, and also knows how to win in any situation.
• India’s Mission Chandrayaan is also a live example of woman power. Many women scientists and engineers have been directly involved in this entire mission.
• Heads of 40 countries and many Global Organizations are coming to the capital Delhi to participate in this event. The African Union also joined the G-20 on India’s invitation and the voice of the people of Africa reached this important platform of the world.

• Friends, Our Presidency of the G-20 is a People’s Presidency, in which the spirit of public participation is at the forefront.
• A few days ago the World University Games were held in China. India displayed her best ever performance in these games this time. Our players won 26 medals in all, out of which 11 were Gold Medals. You will be pleased to know that even if we add all the medals won in all the World University Games that have been held since 1959, this number reaches only 18. In all these decades just 18 whereas this time our players won 26 medals.
• This time on 15th August, the country saw the power of ‘Sabka Prayas’. The efforts of all the countrymen turned the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’ into a ‘Har Man Tiranga Abhiyan’. Many records were also made during this campaign. The countrymen purchased tricolors in crores.
• At present, the campaign to evoke the spirit of patriotism ‘Meri Mati, Mera Desh’ is in full swing in the country. In the month of September, there will be a campaign to collect soil from every house in every village of the country. The holy soil of the country will be deposited in thousands of Amrit Kalash urns. At the end of October, thousands will reach the country’s capital Delhi with the Amrit Kalash Yatra. Amrit Vatika will be built in Delhi from this soil only. I am sure, the efforts of every countryman will make this campaign successful.
• At the time of celebration of festivals, we
also have to remember the mantra of Vocal for Local. This campaign of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ is the every countryman’s own campaign. And during the festive atmosphere, we have to keep holy places and their vicinity clean; albeit for all times. Next time we will again have ‘Mann Ki Baat’, shall meet with some new topics. We
will discuss to our heart’s content, some of the new efforts of the countrymen and their success. Till then I take leave of you. Thank you very much.
