Last week, PM Modi expressed pleasure that several people undertook extensive research on ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and shared their insightful findings with the masses as he mentioned a book titled ‘Igniting Collective Goodness’. The book chronicles how ‘Mann Ki Baat’ became a means for societal change, as per a press release from the Prime Minister’s office.
During his programme he pushed for ‘vocal for local’ campaign in the show that was broadcast ahead of Diwali. He said, “Like every time, this time too, during festivals, our priority should be ‘Vocal for Local'”.
“Earlier this month, Khadi witnessed record sales in Delhi. This month’s ongoing Khadi Mahotsav has once again broken all records. On Gandhi Jayanti, Khadi witnessed record sales,” he further said.
“The foundation of a very big nationwide organization is being laid on 31st October and that too on the birth anniversary of Sardar Saheb. The name of this organization is – My Young India, i.e. MYBharat. MYBharat organization will provide an opportunity to the youth of India to play an active role in various nation-building events,” said PM Modi.
Speaking about the tribal community he said, “The entire country will celebrate Tribal Pride Day on 15th November. This special day is associated with the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda. Lord Birsa Munda resides in the hearts of all of us. We can learn from his life what true courage is and what it means to stand firm on one’s determination.”
PM Modi also spoke about thousands of Amrit Kalash Yatras reaching Delhi. He said, “The soil will be put in an enormous Bharat Kalash and with this sacred soil, ‘Amrit Vatika’ will be built in Delhi.”
