Tune in to 136th Episode of Mann Ki Baat by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 26th July 2026

Respected PM Modi Ji, Notwithstanding both Union Petroleum and Transport Ministers denying the emergence of any serious fall outs (except some marginal drop in mileage) as a result of mandatorily supplying E-20 fuel at all retail outlets across the nation, kindly consider appropriately dispelling their all such apprehensions based on several soggy and out of blue (unexpected) experiences of several (pre-2023) vehicle owners. Sir, With due respect, why make them bear the much avoidable burden thereof? In all fairness, vehicle owners should be free to make their own choices about which auto fuel they wish to make use of instead of forcing them to opt for E-20 Ethanol mixed fuel alone. Sir, Your honour will agree and appreciate that the govt should make available sufficient quantity of both pure petrol and E-20 Ethanol mixed fuel to enable them to make some worthy choices for themselves more as a matter of natural justice. With Warmest Regards

केदारनाथ, अमरनाथ जैसे तीर्थ मार्गों को "प्लास्टिक बोतल मुक्त क्षेत्र" घोषित किया जाए, स्थानीय कारीगरों, स्वयं सहायता समूहों एवं ग्रामीणों को लौकी, बांस, मिट्टी, नारियल, लकड़ी तथा औषधीय गुणों वाली प्राकृतिक सामग्रियों से बने जल-पात्र एवं गिलास बनाने और बेचने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाए। ये अनूठे, पर्यावरण-अनुकूल जल-पात्र श्रद्धालुओं के लिए यादगार स्मृति-चिह्न बनेंगे, जिससे उनका पुनः उपयोग बढ़ेगा।इससे स्थानीय आजीविका को बढ़ावा मिलेगा, प्लास्टिक कचरा कम होगा, पारंपरिक जीवनशैली के संरक्षण को नई दिशा

Declare pilgrimage routes such as Kedarnath & Amarnath as "Plastic Bottle-Free Zones." Encourage local artisans, self-help groups & communities to manufacture & sell water bottles & drinking cups made from natural and traditional materials such as dried bottle gourd, bamboo, clay, coconut shell, wood & medicinal plant-based materials. These unique eco-friendly vessels can become memorable souvenirs that devotees will proudly take home and reuse, reducing plastic waste & promote locals livelihood

Noise pollution in India is becoming a great issue and No one is addressing it .It's from everywhere. It should be addressed as it cause mental health issues. Heat is in itself is a very big issue nowadays but pairing that with unbearable noise creates chaos . Most people are not ready for community services today because their peace is being disturbed which causes them to act angry instead of being calm . If Noise pollution is addressed it can bring forth a good level improvement in everyday life. Which will make the people more happy which will result in a better quality of life. So please consider this suggestion from me . Thank you.

Respected PM Modi Ji, Kindly consider abolition of Income Tax on the 'Pension Income' of all Senior Citizens, across the nation even as govt has so generously exempted a vast groups/categories of people/individuals therefrom. Case in example could be the nation's farming community as also our political masters enjoying multiple (zero cost to them) facilities. With Warmest Regards

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री जी, सादर नमस्कार। मैं एम्स ऋषिकेश में न्यूरोसर्जन के रूप में कार्यरत हूँ। प्रतिदिन सड़क दुर्घटनाओं में गंभीर सिर की चोट (Traumatic Brain Injury) से पीड़ित मरीजों का उपचार करते हुए अनुभव करता हूँ कि समय पर हेलमेट और सीट बेल्ट का उपयोग करने से अनेक लोगों की जान बचाई जा सकती थी। चिकित्सीय अध्ययनों के अनुसार सड़क दुर्घटनाओं में होने वाली अधिकांश मौतों का प्रमुख कारण सिर की गंभीर चोट होती है। सड़क दुर्घटनाओं में सिर की गंभीर चोटें अक्सर परिवार के आजीविका अर्जित करने वाले सदस्य को प्रभावित करती हैं, जिससे पूरे परिवार के बच्चों का भविष्य व आर्थिक सुरक्षा दांव पर लग जाती है। मेरा विनम्र अनुरोध है कि आप "मस्तिष्क सुरक्षा अभियान" अथवा "सिर की सुरक्षा, जीवन की सुरक्षा" जैसे राष्ट्रव्यापी जन-जागरूकता अभियान का आह्वान करें। जिस प्रकार स्वच्छ भारत अभियान जन-आंदोलन बना, उसी प्रकार यह अभियान हेलमेट, सीट बेल्ट और सुरक्षित यातायात व्यवहार को जन-आंदोलन बनाकर हजारों लोगों का जीवन बचा सकता है। एक हेलमेट केवल सिर की नहीं, बल्कि पूरे परिवार के भविष्य की रक्षा करता है। सादर।

Namaste ji. Our Honourable PM and Government have announced more welfare schemes for all categories. When we interacted with people about welfare schemes and subsidies,only 15 percent people knows about it. Beneficiary percent was very low. Eventhough more informations available with social media, it needs more reach. MyGov postings are very easy to understand which covers almost all news about Government's Achievements. Participant count in MyGov is very high but active volunteers are very less in my view. Only through strong communication only it can be strengthened.I'm from Tamil Nadu and my age is 60. I've retired before 2 months from central government service but i'm doin my level best by sharing MyGov messages in various ways.If you permit me to take awareness classes for students on MyGov, I assure my best Contributions to strengthen our PM's Vision. I request MyGov,to utilise the services of volunteers within the rules and regulations. Jai hind

Being a teenager myself, I have seen how social media influences people of my age. Many teenagers believe and share viral content without verifying facts or understanding the complete context, which often leads to misinformation and poor decision-making. I know parents and teenagers also have a responsibility, but I believe the Government can support families by introducing a minimum age of 17 years for independent access to social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, X, Snapchat, Threads, Reddit, Discord, and Telegram, along with strong age verification to prevent misuse through VPNs, fake identities, or parents' accounts. Social media is a great platform for education, learning, and communication, and my intention is not to stop its benefits but to ensure that young people are mature enough to use it responsibly. I believe this can help build a safer digital future for India's youth with responsible digital habits. I hope this small idea can make a difference. Thank you.

Sudden cardiac arrest kills 5–7 lakh Indians yearly, with under 10% survival versus ~20% in the Netherlands, while bystander CPR rates remain as low as 1–10%. One hospitalization costs Rs. 12–15 lakh, far more than prevention would. The proposal suggests subsidized (Rs. 200–500) wearable ECG patches for citizens aged 50+, distributed via Aadhaar much like CoWIN. Patches would send cardiac data to an AI system at AIIMS/ICMR that flags danger signs, escalating only critical cases to doctors, with alerts linked to the 108 ambulance network. Collection points would double as CPR training sites, and AEDs would be mandated in public spaces. Since India already has 900 million ABHA accounts and 90%+ Aadhaar coverage, no new infrastructure is needed. A 12.5-million-person dataset could also become the world's most diverse cardiac dataset, positioning India as a global model. The ask: a low-cost NITI Aayog/ICMR feasibility study and a one-state pilot within 12 months.
