New Delhi:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the 61st edition of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat'. The official handle of 'Mann Ki Baat Updates' had earlier said that the first address of PM Modi's monthly programme in 2020 will be done on the Republic Day. This timing of the programme has been changed for today from its usual 11 am to avoid a clash with the Republic Day function in the morning.

The programme will be broadcast on the entire network of AIR and Doordarshan and Narendra Modi App at 6 pm on January 26.

In his last address on December 29, the Prime Minister had urged people to take up tasks to uplift the poor and had stressed the need for buying indigenous products to support the artisans.

Somewhat similar is the story of Yogananthan of Tamil Nadu which fills you with great pride! Yogananthan makes beedis in Tamil Nadu, but his daughter Purnashree won everyone's heart by bagging the Gold Medal in Weight Lifting.





I along with all the winners, congratulate all the participants. I also thank all the people, coaches and technical officers associated with 'Khelo India Games’ for organising them successfully.

Well, Shailesh ji, heartiest congratulations and many good wishes to you. The Mann Ki Baat Charter in connection with your New Year resolution is very innovative. I shall certainly send it back to you, along with my best wishes inscribed.
