    PM Modi addresses nation through Mann Ki Baat

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation through his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat. This is the 72nd edition of Prime Minister's monthly radio programme & the last Mann Ki Baat of the year 2020. Here are the highlights from his address:

    • Due to Corona, the supply chains got disrupted the world over but we learnt new lessons from each crisis. The nation also developed new capabilities. We can call this capability 'Aatmanirbharata' or self-reliance. 
    • Customers too are demanding 'Made In India' toys. This is a big change in the thought process. This is a living example of a major transformation in people's attitude and that too within a period of one year. It's not easy to gauge this transformation.
    • I call upon our manufacturers and industry leaders that when people have taken determined step forward and when the mantra of 'Vocal for Local' is resonating in every house, it is time to ensure that our products are world-class.
    • The Global best must be manufactured in India. For this, our entrepreneurs and startups must come forward.
    • India has seen a 60% rise in the leopard population between 2014-2018. In 2014, the leopard population in India was around 7,900. This rose to 12,852 in 2019. Their population has increased in most parts of the country, especially in Central India. 
    • I appeal to you to make a list of goods of daily use and analyse which imported articles have unconsciously become part of our lives and made us their captive. Let us find out their Indian alternatives and resolve to use products produced by the hard work of Indians. 
    • India has seen a rise in population of lions, tigers as well as a significant increase in forest cover. Main reason is that not only govt but several other people, civil societies and other organisations are contributing towards forest and wildlife conversation.
    • On this day, Guru Govind Singh Ji's mother Mata Gujri Ji embraced martyrdom. About a week back was the day of martyrdom of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji. I had the privilege to pay my obeisance to Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji at Gurudwara Rakab Ganj in Delhi.
    • When I look at India's youth, I feel elated and reassured. I feel so because my country's youth has 'Can Do' approach and the spirit of 'Will Do'. No challenge is too big for them. Nothing is beyond their reach.
    • People reverently remember the supreme sacrifice of the family of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This martyrdom gave a new lesson to the entire humanity and the entire country. This martyrdom did a great work of protecting our civilization. We are indebted to this martyrdom.
    • In May this year, the Kashmiri saffron was given the Geographical Indication Tag or GI tag. Through this, we want to make Kashmiri saffron a globally popular brand.
    • 92 years old T Srinivasacharya Swami Ji from Tamil Nadu is writing his book on computer, that too, by typing himself. His inquisitiveness, self-confidence is still the same as his younger days. A Sanskrit and Tamil Scholar, he has written 16 spiritual books.
    • Realising that the process of writing and printing books has changed, he learned computer and necessary software at age of 86 years. His life is a clear example of fact that life remains full of energy till the time inquisitiveness and urge to learn does not fade away.
    • We should take a vow that we will not litter, this is first resolve of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan. I want to remind you of one more thing which couldn't be discussed that much because of Corona. We have to definitely rid the nation of single-use plastic. 
    • After untiring hard work of 12 years, Hiraman Ji of Korwa tribe from Jharkhand has prepared a dictionary of Korwa language, nearing extinction. He has included numerous words used in daily life. What he has accomplished for Korwa tribe, is an example for the country
