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

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी, मैं एक महत्वपूर्ण विषय में आपको लिखने का विचार कर रहा था। मैं जानता हूँ कि आप व्यस्त है. हर चीज़ पर आपकी पैनी नज़र रहती है। मेरा एक सपना है कि एक आधुनिक गुरुकुल की स्थापना की जाए - जो हमारी प्राचीन सभ्यता की जड़ों से जुड़ा हो। ये गुरुकुल गेम चेंजर (बड़ा बदलाव लाने वाले) साबित होंगे; यह हमारी लगभग सभी समस्याओं का समाधान करेंगे, जिसमें सबसे गंभीर समस्या, यानी जातिवाद भी शामिल है। वहां से उत्तीर्ण होने वाले सभी लोगों को 'पंडित' कहा जाएगा। मुझे लगता है कि हम इसकी शुरुआत अयोध्या से कर सकते हैं, जहाँ प्रचुर मात्रा में धन उपलब्ध है, जिसे इस नेक काम के लिए इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। हम शुरुआत के तौर पर अयोध्या में एक गुरुकुल शुरू कर सकते हैं, और बाद में अन्य मंदिरों, तीर्थस्थलों, आश्रमों और मठों में भी इसी तरह के गुरुकुल बना सकते हैं। आप एक योगी और तपस्वी हैं। आपका एक शब्द या इच्छा ही इसके लिए पर्याप्त होगी। विनम्र प्रार्थना: कृपया मुझे अपने किसी 'बाबू' - आईएएस (IAS) अधिकारियों और उनके अधीनस्थों से मिलने के लिए न कहें। प्रार्थी एल के काण्डपाल

नमस्ते सर जी

Respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, Inspired by your vision of 'Viksit Bharat @ 2047', I am Shaurya Bhaarat Satapathy, an 18-year-old author from India. I have authored a research monograph titled "India 2047: The Civilizational Renaissance" (ISBN: 9788199555266), exploring India's strategic path toward a post-Western multipolar world order and native security architectures. My core idea is that youth-led research shouldn't just adapt to global systems; we must build a native intellectual narrative. My book has been indexed in the global Social Science Research Network (SSRN) and open-access networks worldwide, showing the world that Indian youth are leading from the front in strategic global discourse. PM Ji, I want to motivate fellow students to shift from being consumer-driven to becoming creators of new-age knowledge. I hope my journey inspires youth across the nation to research, write, and establish a confident intellectual narrative for our civilizational renaissance.

Respected PM Sir, I wish to raise a growing public health concern among India's youth - excessive digital screen exposure, especially late at night. Since COVID-19, smartphones and digital platforms have become essential for education, work, and communication, but this has also increased unhealthy screen exposure. Scientific studies show blue light from screens suppresses melatonin, disrupting sleep, causing fatigue and poor concentration among young people.Even the Economic Survey 2025–26 has flagged "digital addiction" as an emerging health risk, comparable to ultra-processed foods. This matters because our youth are the workforce driving India's future.Disrupted sleep and reduced focus can hold back an entire generation's productivity and wellbeing.The answer isn't rejecting technology, but building "digital wellbeing" - mindful screen habits, restricted usage before bedtime, more outdoor activity, and real socialization.I Request you sir to kindly highlight this issue.

Under your dynamic directions for digital revolution there are some office still harassment to senior citizens with tengical process, where all government system should be like your my gov aap which is very easy to submit everything. It's humble request to issue directions for adoption of OTP system. SO, every citizen can submit his/her grievance or any documents.🙏warm Regards

I wish to highlight a serious gap affecting high-achieving Indian students in New Zealand. My wife completed a research Master’s and received a Post Study Work Visa, but used only a few months of it before enrolling in a PhD. After years of doctoral research, she became ineligible for another Post Study Work Visa because New Zealand allows this visa only once. For students progressing directly from a Master’s to a PhD, completing the doctorate may provide no dedicated post-study work opportunity to use their advanced skills. Many students may unknowingly follow this pathway. Immigration settings can prioritise selected shortage occupations while sustained academic achievement and specialised research receive insufficient recognition. Indian students should be clearly warned about this gap before pursuing consecutive postgraduate degrees abroad. New Zealand should consider a separate pathway for doctoral graduates who previously used only a short Master’s-level post-study visa.

I was a regular drinker since many years, recently in past 1 and half years I have left the habit of drinking. So, now I am realizing how difficult it is to live a life with addiction. It costs a person financially, this habit also give a bad quality of anger for which I lost many friends and good relation with relatives. This also impacted my performance in office. Now, after leaving alcohol consumption I am feeling proud for my decision and living a healthy life. I have made this song using AI app to encourage Indian youths to leave this habit and who do not have this habit they also should not try this. My song is live on youtube as Nasha Mukt Bharat Song | Hindi Song on Addiction free India I have also participated in Nasha Mukt Bharat competition with this song which recently happened in mybharat website. I would request our Prime Minister to forbid youths to get addicted and focus on their education, career, happiness within family, focusing on life's goal.
