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

The idea of Karam Yoga as depicted in Bhagwat Geeta. We all have had the experience while working, or even when we’re doing normal things like playing, cooking. Sometimes we’re so much involved, having 100% focus. Things change. Hours of cooking sometimes feel like minutes. Hours of journey spent in blinks of eyes and an energetic conversation. Names, designations, become just that. Things in the world around us pause. Time moves, and with it a beautiful machinery of mind and body working in perfect sync.

भारत सरकार के CPGRAMS और MyGov पोर्टल्स नागरिकों की भागीदारी के लिए बेहतरीन माध्यम हैं, लेकिन इन्हें और अधिक प्रभावी बनाने के लिए कुछ महत्वपूर्ण सुधारों की आवश्यकता है। पहला, पोर्टल्स पर शिकायतों और सुझावों के निपटारे में केवल 'औपचारिक जवाब' देने के बजाय समाधान की गुणवत्ता (Quality of Resolution) और नागरिकों की 'संतुष्टि दर' (Satisfaction Rate) को अनिवार्य मानक बनाया जाए। दूसरा, किसी भी बड़े नीतिगत बदलाव या कानून का मस्यौदा (Draft) संसद में जाने से कम से कम 60 दिन पहले आम भाषा में इन पोर्टल्स पर सार्वजनिक किया जाए, ताकि प्रभावित वर्ग सीधे संवाद कर सकें। तीसरा, केवल एकतरफा सुझाव लेने के बजाय संवेदनशील और सामूहिक मुद्दों पर मंत्रियों व संबंधित हितधारकों के बीच लाइव डिजिटल टाउन हॉल (Interactive Consultation) आयोजित किए जाएं। इन सुधारों से डिजिटल माध्यमों के प्रति जनता का विश्वास और मजबूत होगा और असंतोष सड़कों पर धरने के रूप में प्रकट होने के बजाय सीधे संवाद के जरिए सुलझ सकेगा। और देश में जो बात बात पर लोग सरकार के खिलाफ धरना देने लग जाते हैं वो समस्या भी खत्म हो जाएगी ।

Namaste . As a B.Tech student, I have observed that many educational institutions still follow outdated curricula that do not align with today's rapidly changing industry needs. I request that our education system be updated more frequently with greater emphasis on practical learning, internships, research, and emerging technologies like AI and cybersecurity. I also humbly request you to dedicate a few minutes in an upcoming Mann Ki Baat to speak about the future of India's education policy. Your thoughts and guidance on this topic would inspire and benefit millions of students like me.

Namaskar. I am writing to request your kind support in promoting Guru Panchagavyam, a low-cost organic fertilizer that is helping many farmers improve crop yield and soil health. Today, excessive use of chemical fertilizers is damaging our soil and increasing farming costs. Guru Panchagavyam is a natural solution that farmers can prepare themselves at a very low cost. It improves soil fertility, increases crop production, and helps plants tolerate drought conditions, making it useful during climate challenges like El Niño. Our team is conducting free awareness and training programs for farmers. Many farmers have reported good results after using Guru Panchagavyam. We humbly request the Prime Minister's Office to review this organic farming method through agricultural experts. If found beneficial, we kindly request you to mention Guru Panchagavyam in Mann Ki Baat and encourage the Ministry of Agriculture and State Agriculture Departments to spread this knowledge across India.

Your phone knows where you sleep, who you love, what you search at 2 AM, and probably your mother's maiden name. The only thing it does not know is how to keep that information safe from everyone else. That is the problem I am trying to fix. I am 18, Indian, and I built Privex, a messaging platform where the server literally cannot read your messages. Not by policy. By math. Even if the government knocks on my door with a warrant, there is nothing to hand over. No messages, no call logs, no IP addresses, nothing. I want PM Modi to speak on one question: How do we make privacy the default for every Indian, not just a paid feature for the rich? The DPDP Act exists on paper. But awareness is missing. A 5 minute segment on Mann Ki Baat explaining why privacy matters, what encryption is, and how citizens can protect themselves would have more impact than any bill passed in Parliament. India builds the world's software. Let us also build the world's most private internet.

Most 18-year-olds spend their time on Instagram. I spent mine building Privex, a zero-knowledge encrypted messaging platform. Not because I am special, but because nobody else was doing it for India. Your phone knows where you sleep, what you search at 2 AM, and probably your mother's maiden name. The only thing it does not know is how to keep that information safe from everyone else. That is the problem I am tryin to fix. The DPDP Act 2023 was a great first step. But most Indians still do not know their data is being sold. Privacy is treated as a luxury, not a basic right. I want PM Modi to talk about digital privacy as a national priority. Not for corporates. For the common man. Explain what encryption means. Tell Indians their messages belong to them. A 5 minute segment would do more for digital literacy than any pamphlet. India builds the world's software. Let us build the world's most private internet. Privex is open source and ready for anyone to audit, including the PM.

Respected Prime Minister Ji, I request you to consider speaking about the importance of fiscal responsibility in elections and the long-term impact of financially unsustainable electoral promises. As a citizen, I understand that welfare schemes for the poor and vulnerable are an essential responsibility of every government. However, there is also growing concern among many citizens about the increasing trend of political parties making promises (Freebees) that may place a heavy burden on public finances in the future. It would be reassuring if you could share the Government's vision on this subject and explain whether India is moving towards a framework where election promises are made with greater financial accountability. Your thoughts on this important issue would provide clarity to millions of citizens and reinforce confidence that India's long-term economic interests remain a national priority. Thank you for your continued service to the nation.

देश में उपभोक्ताओं के अधिकारों की रक्षा के लिए NCH एक सराहनीय मंच है। इसे और अधिक प्रभावी बनाने के लिए मेरा सुझाव है कि NCH को केवल एक मध्यस्थ मंच न रखकर, बैंकिंग लोकपाल की तर्ज पर 'कानूनी रूप से बाध्यकारी शक्तियां' दी जाएं। वर्तमान में कई कंपनियां NCH के नोटिस को गंभीरता से नहीं लेतीं,जिससे उपभोक्ताओं को छोटे-छोटे रिफंड के लिए भी मजबूरन कंज्यूमर कोर्ट जाना पड़ता है। यदि NCH को अंतिम फैसला सुनाने, देरी पर कंपनियों पर दैनिक 'ऑटो-पेनल्टी' लगाने और बार - 2 नियम तोड़ने वाली कंपनियों का लाइसेंस रद्द करने का अधिकार मिल जाए, तो 90% छोटे मामलों का निपटारा घर बैठे ही 15-30 दिनों में हो जाएगा। इसके परिणामस्वरुप, हमारे देश के कंज्यूमर कोर्ट्स केवल 'बड़े और जटिल मामलों' जैसे भारी मुआवजा, गंभीर धोखाधड़ी या जटिल कानूनी विवाद के लिए सीमित हो सकेंगे।इससे न केवल आम जनता के समय और वकीलों के खर्च की भारी बचत होगी, बल्कि हमारी अदालतों पर लंबित लाखों मुकदमों का बोझ भी पूरी तरह खत्म हो जाएगा। आशा है कि सरकार NCH को एक सशक्त 'डिजिटल ट्रिब्यूनल' के रूप में अपग्रेड करने पर विचार करेगी।

Please introduce the Public Transport System in the name of Common Mobility Service System (CMS) in all Cities, Towns and Villages to minimize the use of personal vehicles and to protect the environment. This CMS can facilitate the passengers / commuters in a City, Town and Village to use all kinds of transport systems in hassle-free manner. Please look into the Common Mobility Service System to avoid traffic congestion in the Cities, Towns and Villages. The CMS must be available 24x7 for all the passengers using different transport systems. The CMS is a Technical-Bridge among the transport systems being used by the people at large. All Transport Systems must be part of the CMS with the label/tag "CMS-Linked". So that, people can easily avail the transport systems without hesitation. Please look into the CMS suggestion as a part of GATI-SAKTHI Scheme announced by the Govt of India.

Respected Sir, We the Citizens of India are happy that you will be addressing the 136th Episode of Mann Ki Baat. We the citizens of India are able to participate in the various quizzes conducted by My Gov. Thank you Sir for giving us the opportunity.
