Mann Ki Baat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (August 25) addressed the 113th episode of his monthly radio broadcast, 'Mann Ki Baat'. Addressing the listeners, PM Modi noted that On 23rd August, the nation marked the first National Space Day, celebrating the success of Chandrayaan-3. He also asserted that a lot of things are happening in India in the 21st century which are strengthening the foundation for a 'Viksit Bharat'.

"Last year, on this day, Chandrayaan-3 had made a successful landing on the southern part of the moon at the Shiv-Shakti point," he said as he highlighted the works of different organisations and people in improving the environment and batted for collective efforts in the field. On the occasion, the Prime Minister also noted that the youth of the country has benefitted a lot from various reforms in the space sector.

He also spoke to several young entrepreneurs helming space start-ups as they highlighted their work. These entrepreneurs praised the growing vibrant space ecosystem in the country.

PM Modi also mentioned his this year's Independence Day address from Red Fort, where he urged one lakh Youths, who were not from a political background, to connect with the political system. "This point of mine has garnered tremendous response. We, thus, come to know that a large number of our youth are eagerly ready to enter politics. All they are looking for is the right opportunity and apt guidance," he said

I have also received letters from youth across the country on this subject. Enormous responses are being received on social media as well. People have sent me many kinds of suggestions. Some youth have written in their letters that it is truly inconceivable for them.  On account of the absence of a political legacy on the part of their grandfather or parents, they could not enter politics despite wanting to," the Prime Minister added.

Modi noted that during the freedom movement, countless people from all walks of life came forward, even though they had no political background. "They devoted themselves entirely to India's independence. Today, to achieve the vision of a Viksit Bharat, we need to rekindle that same spirit once again," he added. The PM also mentioned that youngsters have written to him and reacted on social media to his call.

The Mann Ki Baat was aired at 11 am simultaneously on All India Radio, TV channels, and all digital platforms. Akashwani will broadcast the programme in regional languages immediately after the Hindi broadcast.

During the programme, PM Modi discusses relevant national issues with Indian citizens. The 112th edition of PM Modi's radio show was broadcast on July 28. The programme is broadcast on the last Sunday of every month. Launched on October 3, 2014, 'Mann Ki Baat' aims to connect with various segments of society, encompassing women, the elderly, and the youth.
