This recognition reflects the collective dedication, scientific excellence, and sustained efforts of our researchers, public health experts, policymakers, collaborators, and partners working tirelessly towards protecting communities from the harms of tobacco and nicotine. As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, this honor further strengthens our commitment to building a tobacco-free and healthier nation for future generations. please mention about this and urge everyone for no tobacco use.

Hon'ble Prime Minister Ji, I am K.S. Leela Prasad from Tirupati, AP. I humbly request you to address an important issue in an upcoming episode of "Mann Ki Baat." Social media is increasingly being misused to post abusive and derogatory content against Hindu deities, hurting the religious sentiments of millions of devotees. While Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression, this freedom should be exercised responsibly and with due respect for the faith and beliefs of others. A message from you through "Mann Ki Baat" urging citizens to use social media responsibly, respect all religions, and refrain from posting content that hurts religious sentiments would have a positive impact on society. I also request the Government to examine whether stronger legal safeguards are needed to curb the deliberate misuse of social media while preserving the constitutional balance between freedom of expression and public order. With highest regards,

Respected PM Our country is blessed with a long and beautiful coastline. Ours is the only country after which an ocean has been named (Indian ocean) Unfortunately we have taken our blessings for granted as seen from the dumping of all types of waste materials on our coast and beaches giving a pathetic look repelling tourists. It’s sadly across the country and I see it in the beaches of my district ( Kanniyakumari) and in other places both in East and West coast. Last week found the popular Alibaugh beach too in such pathetic condition. Why can’t people living along the coast in cooperation with NGOs, schools, colleges and other institutions in the area take up the responsibility to keep the coast clean by regularly cleaning up, educating the people in the area, displaying of information etc besides other locally relevant measures. This will go a long way to keep our coast clean and make it more tourist friendly. Citizens in our coastal states may begin this voluntary activity early.

Despite cleanliness campaigns, it is still common to see people spitting pan masala and gutkha on roads, footpaths, bus stops, railway stations, markets, and public buildings. Public urination near roads, shops, and transport hubs is also widespread. During the rainy season, these conditions become even worse, making public spaces unhygienic and unpleasant for ordinary citizens who use them every day. India is progressing rapidly, but can we truly call ourselves a developed nation if basic civic discipline is still lacking? Why are these practices still so common in public places? Is it really difficult to impose stricter restrictions on products such as pan masala and gutkha, which contribute significantly to this problem? Are existing rules and penalties being enforced effectively? I respectfully request stricter enforcement, stronger penalties, and continuous public awareness initiatives to ensure cleaner, healthier, and more dignified public spaces for everyone

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी, मुझे आपके नेतृत्व, ईमानदारी और देशहित में लिए गए निर्णयों पर पूरा विश्वास है। NEET पेपर लीक की घटना ने लाखों मेहनती विद्यार्थियों और उनके परिवारों का विश्वास डगमगा है। मुझे विश्वास है कि आपके नेतृत्व में इस मामले की निष्पक्ष जांच होगी, दोषियों के विरुद्ध कठोर कार्रवाई की जाएगी और जवाबदेही तय होगी। शिक्षा मंत्रालय की गंभीर प्रशासनिक विफलता सामने है, तो शिक्षा मंत्री की नैतिक जिम्मेदारी तय करते हुए उनका इस्तीफा लिया जाए, ताकि देश के युवाओं के सामने जवाबदेही का एक सशक्त उदाहरण स्थापित हो। आप स्वयं देश के युवाओं को संबोधित कर एक निष्पक्ष, सक्षम नए शिक्षा मंत्री की नियुक्ति करें| साथ ही, एक अन्य महत्वपूर्ण समस्या की ओर भी आपका ध्यान आकर्षित करना चाहता/चाहती हूँ। पिछले लगभग 3 महीनों से सरकारी गैस एजेंसियाँ नए LPG गैस कनेक्शन जारी नहीं कर रही हैं। कई परिवारों को मजबूरी में इंडक्शन पर खाना बनाना पड़ रहा है। कृपया बताने का कष्ट करें कि नए गैस कनेक्शन कब से जारी होना शुरू होंगे हमें विश्वास है कि आपके नेतृत्व में इन दोनों मुद्दोंका शीघ्र और प्रभावी समाधान होगा, धन्यवाद

Most Respected PMJI Vanakkam. My humble suggestions are as under 1) Deadly disease such as TB, Polio and leprosy need to be totally eliminated from the country on a war footing. 2) Kindly advise the Ministry concerned to take necessary steps to assess the condition of the drinking water pipelines and carry out prompt repairs if required 3) Desalination plants may be set up wherever feasible by roping in leading private sectors. 4) Kindly explore the feasibility of distributing a couple of goats and poultry birds to the women in the tribal locations for their livelihoods. Tribal women may be imparted training in making baskets etc from banana fibre. 5) It is heartening that our Gracious PMJI is taking genuine concern and interest in the welfare of all sections of society, particularly physically challenged persons. Doing away with interview for the posts under SSC is a significant milestone. Kindly do away with Endurance Tests for PH candidates.

State-run Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) developed India's first fully indigenous 1200 kV Ultra High Voltage Alternating Current (UHVAC) transformer. Manufactured at their Bhopal plant, the 333 MVA homegrown unit minimizes transmission losses and reduces reliance on foreign technology.The 1200 kV transformer is a massive engineering milestone for India, making the country one of a select few globally to possess this advanced power infrastructure technology. Congratulations

To: Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji Subject: Suggestion for "One Pattern Education System" across India Respected Pradhan Mantri Ji, Under your leadership, the NEP 2020 has transformed Indian education. Building on this vision, I request you to consider a "One Pattern Education System"—a uniform curriculum and evaluation framework for both Government and Private schools nationwide. Key Benefits: Equal Opportunity: Ensures every child, regardless of economic background, receives the same quality education. Ease of Transfers: Relieves stress for families moving across states due to job transfers. Fair Assessments: Standardizes national competition, learning quality, and teacher training. Affordability: Eliminates costly, non-standardized private textbooks. Just like One Nation, One Tax, "One Nation, One Education" will empower our youth equally. I urge you to share your thoughts on this in Mann Ki Baat. Jai Hind! AFROZ HASHMI

भारत की युवा शक्ति हमारी सबसे बड़ी राष्ट्रीय संपदा है, किंतु हाल के वर्षों में अनेक युवा भावनात्मक उन्माद, भ्रामक प्रचार और स्वार्थी तत्वों के प्रभाव में आकर उद्देश्यहीन आंदोलनों का हिस्सा बन रहे हैं। लोकतांत्रिक विरोध प्रत्येक नागरिक का अधिकार है, परंतु जब युवाओं की ऊर्जा का उपयोग व्यक्तिगत या राजनीतिक स्वार्थों के लिए होने लगे, तब यह राष्ट्र के भविष्य के लिए चिंता का विषय बन जाता है। मेरी संवेदना उन युवाओं के साथ है जो तथाकथित मसीहाओं के बहकावे में आ जाते हैं। मेरा विनम्र आग्रह है कि सरकार युवाओं में संवैधानिक मूल्यों, तार्किक चिंतन, डिजिटल साक्षरता, कौशल विकास, राष्ट्रीय सेवा और रचनात्मक नेतृत्व को बढ़ावा देने हेतु प्रभावी पहल करे, ताकि उनकी ऊर्जा राष्ट्रनिर्माण में लगे। इस संबंध में मेरा विस्तृत पत्र पीडीएफ संलग्न है।

A New Innovation Proposal Under the National Education Policy (NEP) Introduction India is one of the youngest nations in the world, with more than half of its population below the age of 30. The future strength of the country depends not only on academic excellence but also on the character, discipline, patriotism, physical fitness, leadership abilities, and civic responsibility of its youth. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to create well-rounded individuals who are intellectually capable, socially responsible, physically healthy, and emotionally strong. While the current education system focuses primarily on academic learning, there is an opportunity to introduce a structured national service programme that develops life skills, national unity, self- defence capabilities, and leadership qualities.
