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

Why is Indian Railways reservation system not serving Indian Residents purpose properly anymore? Why does wait list status appear within 2 minutes from after 08:02 onwards from booking window opening time of 08:00 am? Why is Sampark Kranti seat reservation kept blocked? This action not allowed as the Date given is Outside Advance Reservation Period for Sampark Kranti, When all other trains show seats on the day of opening of booking window? Why Sangha Mitra train nowadays shows only 14 seats? Why Rajdhani shows only 99 seats? As such new issues were not there earlier. Is city based seats quota system not the right approach? Are redundant logistic rail routes not available? Are newer trains not getting introduced ontime and is new train allocation/deallocation (commission/decommission) scalability failing? Or Has population gone out of control?

Nationwide in India: April,May,December months are considered summer/winter vacation period months. Schools typically remain closed & the resident Indian citizens/Nationals often go for summer vacation to other cities/visit their native hometown. Then the question comes, was it really a good decision on part of central and state governments to conduct census count during April month vacation period? How do resident Indians view this? Is this not a waste of tax payers money? Is this not about undervaluing & undermining the resident Indians interests? Is this not about a corrupt malpractice of under reporting of actual population count? Is it about misrepresenting, disowning citizens (instead of ownership and social welfare of billions of citizens)? Could the addition of Happiness and Wellness minister post have avoided this situation? As an alternative, July can be the right month for census count as the result can be available before Independence day.

IRCTC should give proper webpage & rights to report matters as and when these happen. IRCTC can't & should not operate without such forms/web page sections in its website & app. If this reoccurs,How much penalty should be applicable on Indian Railways,TTEs,train staff,IRCTC entities? Reason: TTEs sponsoring Waitlisted passengers travel on the floor in AC compartments after 12am midnight in fully booked train where cameras are removed shows policy paralysis. TTEs fail to penalize with challan & deport with RPF help, illegal waiting list ticket travelling passengers of several trains like 16588 BKN YPR EXP and several others. TTEs fail to apply section 137 & 147 of the Railways Act 1989 properly. TTEs fail to call RPF to deport such illegal traveller passengers. A waitlisted train ticket is as good as an auto cancelled ticket by Indian Railways & IRCTC. It has no credible value to be allowed to travel. TTEs resorting to bribery, corruption, malpractices is unacceptable.

Introduce national secure device policy. 2 Billion+ Android and other mobile phones. 70 crore+ laptops are already imported and may contain rootkits, malware, zero day exploits. Introduce indian chips based 5G and 6G mobiles for Android and Indian Kernel based Operating Systems and App store. In the era of Quantum chips where even GPUs got outdated, Indian CPUs never hit the market store shelves ever?

To improve our current Education system, there is a need to implement the basics of various engineering and Medical from class 6th onwards. It will benefit for children to be mentally prepare themselves for higher classes like 11th & 12th and professional degrees as well. It will also uplift the learning standard of government schools. Presently, in private schools, children are prepared from early stage. When they entered in secondary level, they are ready to clear NEET, JEE, CLAT and many other important exams. However, on the other side, children studied from Government schools faces problems due to lack of proper guidance at early stage. My humble request to Honorable PM Shri Narendra Modi Sir to look into this matter so that a child below poverty level can dream to become an engineer or doctor totally from the Government efforts.

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी, सादर प्रणाम। मैं आपके "मन की बात" कार्यक्रम का नियमित श्रोता हूँ। मेरा सुझाव है कि "एक युवा – एक सेवा" अभियान शुरू किया जाए, जिसमें हर युवा वर्ष में कम से कम एक दिन समाज सेवा के लिए समर्पित करे। मैं स्वयं अपने क्षेत्र में 60 वर्ष से अधिक आयु के बुजुर्गों की पेंशन, ऑनलाइन कार्य, दस्तावेज़ और सरकारी योजनाओं में बिना सेवा शुल्क सहायता करता हूँ। इस अनुभव से समझ आया कि छोटी-सी मदद भी किसी के जीवन में बड़ा बदलाव ला सकती है। यदि देशभर के युवा बुजुर्गों, बच्चों और पर्यावरण के लिए ऐसे सेवा कार्य करें, तो यह राष्ट्र निर्माण का बड़ा जनआंदोलन बन सकता है। धन्यवाद। जय हिंद!

We as an Indians have Chowk/squares the most important thing while commute. Each rickshaw stand, cab pickup point, bus stop, major business hub/shops are located at these squares. This problem persists in Tier 1 and 2 cities. Town planning is often influenced by politicians and real-estate/business related lobbies. But if your honored Government can at least get rid of rickshaw stands, bus stands from major squares and make provision for it somewhere between the two squares and chowks, it will help reduce traffic load at these junctions. I understand that we have too much of a population of not only people but vehicles, local authorities need to be vigilant and cooperative. If road width is increased slightly for buses or cabs to stop, it will regulate straight moving vehicles to a larger extent and traffic at junctions/squares/chowks will be reduced from all sides. This way, possibly vehicles will save fuel for self and for other three sides at a junction. challenge!

आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी, नमस्कार। मैं PM SHRI +2 R.P.B.C.A. TOWN HIGH SCHOOL का एक सरकारी विद्यालय का छात्र हूँ। हमारे विद्यालय में पढ़ाई तो होती है, लेकिन व्यावहारिक शिक्षा (Practical Learning) की बहुत कमी है। आज दुनिया रोबोटिक्स, AI और कोडिंग की ओर तेजी से बढ़ रही है, लेकिन हमारे विद्यालय में आज तक मैंने Chemistry Lab भी नहीं देखी है। मेरा विनम्र अनुरोध है कि सरकार विद्यार्थियों के लिए एक राष्ट्रीय पोर्टल बनाए, जहाँ वे अपने विद्यालय से जुड़े सुझाव, समस्याएँ और शिकायतें सीधे दर्ज कर सकें, ताकि उन पर उचित कार्रवाई हो सके। साथ ही सभी सरकारी विद्यालयों में चरणबद्ध तरीके से रोबोटिक्स, कोडिंग और प्रैक्टिकल विज्ञान शिक्षा शुरू की जाए तथा आवश्यक प्रयोगशालाएँ और उपकरण उपलब्ध कराए जाएँ। इससे लाखों विद्यार्थियों को भविष्य की तकनीकों को सीखने का अवसर मिलेगा। विद्यालय: PM SHRI +2 R.P.B.C.A. TOWN HIGH SCHOOL स्थान: NH-33 Road, Front of Mission OP Police Station जिला: Nalanda, Bihar पिन: 811101 धन्यवाद। जय हिन्द।

Title: Living Transformer – A Bio-Cooling Solution for Sustainable Power Distribution Idea: Distribution transformers often become very hot during summer and heavy electricity demand. High temperatures reduce efficiency, increase maintenance costs, and shorten transformer life. My idea is to develop a Living Transformer, where a small microalgae (green algae) bioreactor is installed around the transformer. The waste heat generated by the transformer helps the algae grow. In return, the algae naturally absorb heat and carbon dioxide from the surrounding environment, creating a cooler microclimate around the transformer. The harvested algae can also be converted into biofertilizer or biofuel, making the system environmentally friendly and useful beyond cooling. Benefits: - Reduces transformer overheating. - Improves energy efficiency and transformer lifespan. - Absorbs carbon dioxide and supports a greener environment.

Hon'ble Prime Minister Sir, India has over 140 crore citizens. If every willing citizen contributes just one hour every month to society, it could become the world's largest volunteer movement. A nationwide "One Hour for India" initiative could encourage people to teach underprivileged children, plant trees, clean public spaces, help senior citizens, donate blood, assist during disasters, or mentor young entrepreneurs. Participants could earn digital certificates and recognition through MyGov. This movement would strengthen the spirit of Jan Bhagidari and make every citizen an active partner in building Viksit Bharat 2047. Nation-building is not only the responsibility of governments but of every citizen. I have Also Uploded the Pdf where i have briefly written the concept
