Much emphasis is being laid on cleanliness during Kumbh. If during course of this event sanitation prevails along with reverence, then it will lead to a positive message reaching far and wide.This time every devotee will be able to have darshan of pious Akshayavat after holy dip.

Gudi Padva, Chettichand, Ugadi and others are all celebrated according to the lunar Calendar, whereas Tamil Putandu Vishnu, Baisakh, Baisakhi, Poila Boisakh, Bihu are all celebrated in accordance with solar calendar: PM Modi

Great example of interconnection between us and Nature is the calendar based on our festivals. It comprises festivals all around year as well as the movements of the celestial bodies. This traditional calendar depicts our bonding with natural and astronomical events.



Sun enters Uttarayan due to Northward movement of earth on celestial sphere and enters Makardasha. It is during this period that days begin to lengthen and winter harvesting of our crops begins. Best wishes to our food providers, the farming brothers and sisters.

On occasion of these festivities,length & breadth of India will be replete.. with verve of traditional dances at places, embers of Lohri symbolizing joy of bountiful harvest at others. Skies dotted with colourful flying kites, elsewhere funfilled air of mela.

If your resolve is strong, if your fervor, your enthusiasm is without bounds, all your hurdles halt in their tracks. Hardships can never turn into obstacles. When we come to know of such examples, we too feel inspired every moment of our life.



In 2018, health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat was launched. Electricity reached every village of the country. World agencies recognise that India is pulling its citizens out of poverty at a record pace: PM Modi

Today, I’m saying it with pride that it was collective efforts that made the ‘Swachch Bharat Mission’ a successful campaign. I was told that a few days ago, in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, over three lakh people came together to work for the sanitation campaign.

It was during this very year that our country has successfully accomplished the Nuclear Triad, which means we are now armed with nuclear capabilities-in water, on land and in the sky as well. I sincerely hope that India’s journey on the path of advancement & progress continues through 2019 too. Taking her to newer heights with her inner strengths.


It is easy to spread negativity. But a lot of positive work is also taking place in our surroundings, says PM Modi.

Happy to be connecting once again, thanks to Mann Ki Baat, says PM Narendra Modi as he begins the 51st edition of his monthly radio show.
