Tune in to 137th Episode of Mann Ki Baat by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30th August 2026

Dear honorable PM & RM, Space based XFEL and its applications are possibly active areas of research since many decades

My dear fellow citizens, and especially our dynamic Gen Z—you are the true architects of India's future. Today, a immense responsibility rests upon your young shoulders. Across every sector—from technology and space to sports, arts, and entrepreneurship—you are representing India on the global stage with pride, ensuring our head is held high. However, I firmly believe that this is only the beginning. Whenever we take monumental strides toward progress, we are also confronted with equally grand challenges. One of the greatest challenges of our digital age is the rapid spread of misinformation. Today, it has become all too easy to consume and accept whatever trends on social media without verifying the facts or looking at the broader picture. Yet, in fairness to our youth, where else would you go? The internet has become our primary, and often sole, source of information. So, what is the way forward? The solution lies not in fearing technology, but in ..continue in image

Respected Prime Minister, I request you to speak about keeping our villages and cities clean by reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. Please encourage people, especially the youth and school children, to avoid single-use plastic, plant more trees, save water, and keep public places clean. You can also motivate every family to take small steps like waste segregation, recycling, and using cloth bags. If every citizen contributes a little, together we can build a cleaner, greener, and healthier India and move towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Thank you.

Dear PM Sir, You are doing an excellent job in taking our country forward.. I wish you tacked the corruption issue more. Corruption is the root cause of many ills in the country eg NEET exam paper leak. I feel the biggest source of black money is in the land ownership registration process. The registered values do not reflect the real transaction price thereby facilitating the flow of black money in the system. If you enact a law in a way that if registered values are less than the market values, Government can randomly put the transaction in an auction and get the transaction to reach the market rate. This method reduces the black money, generates more income to the Government. Government can also look into reduction of land registration charges which are high.

Resected Sir, The other day, while driving my 9-year-old daughter to school, she noticed a slogan on a vehicle: "Beti Bachao – Beti Padhao." She innocently asked me, "Papa, what does 'Beti Bachao' mean?" For a moment, I was speechless. How do you explain to a child that there was a time when society had to be reminded to protect its daughters? Thankfully, times are changing. Today, daughters are excelling in every field—education, science, sports, business, leadership, and beyond. They are not just proving themselves; they are redefining what is possible. Perhaps it's time for our message to evolve too. From "Beti Bachao – Beti Padhao" to: "Shikshit Beti – Saksham Beti." (An Educated Daughter is an Empowered Daughter.) Because the conversation today is no longer just about saving our daughters—it's about empowering them to dream, achieve, and lead. What do you think? Is it time for this change?

India can export it's excess ethanol to African countries. Exporting ethanol gives more money to rural India and farmers. Africa is waiting for ethanol exports from India. India can export more ethanol and bring foreign exchange. Indonesia is also looking at Indian ethanol.

Despite technology striving , the weather forecast in India remains inaccurate. Why cloud bursts are not alarmed one hour before ?

i think this is the right time to change from "Beti Bachao - Beti Phadhao" to "Shikshit Beti - Shasham Beti"

With millions of open cases for ages , what kind of judicial system India has with summer holidays like schools ? One side courts are rugby grounds, other side AI driven fraudulent evidences , already rotten judicial systems getting worse further

11-Year-Old Mysuru Girl Writes Children's Ramayana in Just 15 Days Mysuru: a 11-year-old girl from Mysuru has written a 36-page children's version of the Ramayana in just 15 days in Kannada. The handwritten book, titled Makkala Ramayana (Children's Ramayana), is published and released by His holiness Palimar Mutt Seer, Udupi. Dhanyashree S., a Class 7 student of Sri Jnaneshwari Vidyasamsthe in Hebbal, is the daughter of Dr. Sriram and Samata . Inspired by the timeless epic from an early age, she developed a deep interest in the Ramayana by listening to stories narrated by her parents, attending religious discourses and reading books on the subject. The young author has presented the epic in a simple and engaging style suited for children. The book covers the major sections of the Ramayana—Bala Kanda, Ayodhya Kanda, Aranya Kanda, Kishkindha Kanda, Sundara Kanda and Yuddha Kanda—besides narrating the story behind the tradition of applying Sindhoora to the idols of Lord Hanuman.
