Top Points Of 2022's Last Mann Ki Baat By PM Modi:

  • "Ever since the country changed the laws related to bamboo, a huge market has developed for it."

  • "Commendable efforts from Sikkim to further cleanliness and environment conservation. #MannKiBaat. Sikkim's Sange Sherpa has been involved in environment preservation at a height of 12,000 ft for the last 14 years."

  • "In the era of evidence-based medicine, Yoga and Ayurveda are proving to be beneficial...As more and more Indian medical methods become evidence-based, its acceptance will increase across the world."

  • "In 'Mann Ki Baat', we often discuss such examples. Just as art, literature and culture are the collective capital of society, in the same way, it is the responsibility of the whole society to take them forward. One such successful effort is being made in Lakshadweep. There is a club on Kalpeni Island – Kummel Brothers Challengers Club. This club inspires the youth to preserve the local culture and traditional arts. Here the youth are trained in the local art Kolkali, Parichakli, Kilipaat and traditional songs."

  • "Recently news came in from Dubai that the Kalari club there has registered its name in the Guinness Book of World Records. Anyone could think that if Dubai's club set a record, what is its relation with India? Actually, this record is related to Kalaripayattu, the ancient martial art of India. This record is for the performance of Kalari by the maximum number of people simultaneously."

  • We are witnessing a rise in Covid cases in many countries in the world. We need to remain careful and wear masks & wash our hands."

Notably, this ‘Mann Ki Baat’ edition coincides with the birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Christmas celebrations.
