Mann Ki Baat 2.0 Modi 2.0 (39th episode, August 28, 2022)

THE DEPTH OF WISDOM AND

FORESIGHT OF OUR

FOREFATHERS ASTOUNDS US

In the popular mass dialogue programme "Mann Ki Baat" in the month of August,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on topics like the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign,

Amrit festival abroad, the 'Swaraj' tele-serial featuring unheard heroes, Uttarakhand's
branding of bedu fruits, mutual cooperation of women in Himachal, and the unique
initiative of states regarding nutrition. Here are the highlights of "Mann Ki Baat":

Importance of water conservation explained thousands of years ago: The importance of water and
water conservation were explained in our culture thousands of years ago. When a country accepts this
knowledge as its strength, its power grows exponentially. We are filled with awe when we delve deeply
into the wisdom and depth of our forefathers.

Amrit Sarovar construction became a mass movement: In 'Mann Ki Baat' itself, four months ago, I
talked about Amrit Sarovar. The construction of Amrit Sarovar has become a mass movement.
When there is a sense of doing something for the country, a sense of duty, and concern for future
generations, strength is added, and determination becomes noble.
From the making of the tricolour to the hoisting: The nectar of Amrit Mahotsav is flowing all over the
country in August. When it came to hoisting the tricolour in such a large country with so many
diversities, everyone seemed to be in the same spirit. We've also seen the country's spirit in the
cleanliness and vaccination campaigns.
Watch 'Swaraj' serial: The 'Swaraj' serial on Doordarshan is a fantastic initiative to familiarise the
country's young generation with the efforts of unsung national heroes who participated in the
freedom movement. My request is that you watch it yourself on Doordarshan every Sunday at 9 pm
and show it to your children.
Best use of technology and public participation importan part of the Nutritional awareness campaign:
The month of September is filled with festivals as well as a large nutrition campaign. Poshan Maah
is observed every year from September 1st to September 30th. Better use of technology and public
participation in the country's fight against malnutrition have also become critical components of
the nutrition campaign.
Millets becoming increasingly popular around the world: On India's request, the United Nations
declared 2023 to be the International Year of Coarse Cereals. For a long time, whenever a head of
state or foreign guests visit India, I have made an effort to prepare dishes using coarse grains from
India, which these dignitaries enjoy. Millets are becoming increasingly popular around the world.

Share the success stories of Digital India in villages: Share how many lives in each village are being
empowered by the Digital India campaign. You write to me as much as you can about the digital
entrepreneurs of the villages.
