PM Narendra Modi delivers first radio address, urges people to be part of India’s development journey
I am very happy that I can reach all of you through the radio, especially our poor, the villages: PM Narendra Modi
“If everyone takes one step forward, the country will take 125 crores steps forward.”
If you want to share your thoughts with me, please share them on http://www.mygov.in/ PM
PM Modi says he welcomes everyone to write and share their thoughts with him. “Together let us serve India and take our nation to new heights.”
Some wrote to me that we should have more dustbins. This is also a good point: Modi
On e-mail, a lot of people wrote to me that children should begin skill development courses at a very young age. This is a good suggestion: PM Modi
This nation belongs to everyone. It is important for people to be a part of the development journey, says Modi.
This country belongs to the citizens, not the government. People should come together: Modi
If we move ahead with self-respect and right identity, we will emerge victorious: PM
We need to recognise our internal strengths, says the Prime Minister while narrating a short story of Swami Vivekananda about how a lion brought up by sheep rediscovered his prowess after coming in touch with another lion.
Even Swami Vivekanand has said that we are all skilled, but we must understand our skills: PM
The PM underlines that till “we start walking, there will be no one to show us the way. We have to take the initiative.”
We have to understand ourselves better and integrate our strengths. We are not lacking in strength: PM
You know, our scientists have undertaken the Mars mission successfully at minimum expenses. There is nothing lacking in our capabilities. We only have forgotten our strengths. We have forgotten ourselves as if we have become despondents. My brothers and sisters, this cannot be: Modi
The PM says the Khadi Gramudyog Bhavans are giving a special discount in the festival season, so people should take advantage of it.
Sharing his thoughts in his first such address, titled ‘Man ki Baat’, the PM says: “If we buy one Khadi item, it could be a bedsheet, a handkerchief, or anything, but a khadi item, it would help light a lamp in a poor family’s house.”
I urge people to buy at least one Khadi product.
This Vijaya Dashmi, let us win over dirtiness around us. Let us pledge to remove dirt. Yesterday (Thursday), we began the Clean India campaign and I want you all to join this campaign: PM Modi on AIR
I will speak to you once or twice a month on Sundays at 11 am on AIR: Modi
Today, I want to share `Man ki Baat` with you all, says Modi.
I wish you all on the occasion of Vijaya Dashmi. This day celebrates the victory of good over evil: Modi
On microblogging website Twitter, PM Modi says he is looking forward to share his thoughts on AIR.
A senior official said that post recording of Modi’s address, the All India Radio will prepare a transcript to be later translated in regional languages. The AIR would repeat the telecast in regional languages on its regional channels on the evening of October 3, the official said.
According to reports, the BJP-led government has spent approximately Rs 1-1.5 crore on newspaper advertisements for the campaign.
The initiative would help Modi connect directly with millions across the country who have no access to TV.
The programme titled ‘Man ki Baat’ will be aired at 11 am, and is likely to dominate the entire broadcasting space as audio and visuals are likely to be carried on all FM and community radio stations along with news and current affairs TV channels.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday deliver first radio address which will be broadcast on the state-owned All India Radio.
