New Delhi:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on 16th edition of monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on 31st January,2016.

• We observed 2 minutes silence on January 30 as a mark of respect towards our brave martyrs
• If the entire nation observes silence every year on 30th January at 11 am, you can imagine the energy that a single moment will generate
• Sardar Patel said India’s independence is in ‘Khadi’
• Khadi has now become a symbol, a distinct identity in itself. Khadi has become a centre of attraction for the youth too.
• Khadi has the power to provide employment to crores of people
• Some initiatives have been taken to give boost to Khadi production
• I was told that to fulfill this demand of Khadi from government departments, additional jobs of 18 lakh man days will be generated
• On 30th January, martyrdom day of Bapu, I once again urge people to have at least 1 pair of Khadi in their wardrobe
• Many people have written to me telling me about major changes that solar ‘Charkha’ (spinning wheel) has brought in their lives
• Government schools in Gujarat and Haryana invited the most educated daughter of the village for flag hoisting
• Haryana & Gujarat, by giving importance to daughters, especially educated daughters, gave an excellent example of Beti Bachao,Beti Padhao
• In my last Mann Ki Baat , I had raised two issues. First, as a citizen, why should we not clean up the statues of great people? Second, thing which I talked about was how to bring duties at the centre of discussion
• I can think of only one way of providing security to distressed farmers and that is crop insurance scheme. Let us integrate as many farmers as possible with the crop insurance scheme.
• You can now listen to Mann Ki Baat at any time on your mobile phones by giving a missed call on the number 8190881908.
• Our start up India initiative dispelled the notion that start ups are only about IT. Opportunities are endless
• So may of you shared about the start up initiatives on the ‘Narendra Modi Mobile App’
• My dear countrymen, cleanliness is now being linked to beauty as well. Soon our railway stations will become identities of our traditions
• If you have taken such initiative for cleanliness and beautification, you can send me pictures of those initiatives
• Do send me such pictures. Not only me but people will also see them. This will also inspire others
• It is a proud moment for us that India is hosting International fleet review 2016 at Visakhapatnam. This is an endeavour to enhance coordination between military powers of world and our military power.
• India’s maritime history has been golden
• Last time on Mann Ki Baat, I spoke with students about exams. Students will surely have good experiences to share
• I want you to share your experiences with me on Narendra Modi App
• I will meet you again for the next edition of Mann Ki Baat, next month.
