Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], September 29: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami extended his wishes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat’ approaches its 10-year anniversary on October 3.

Speaking to the media, CM Dhami said, “I congratulate PM Narendra Modi for completing 10 years of the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program. Those people who were working even on a small scale got worldwide recognition due to this program. He always mentions Uttarakhand in his programs. Today, he mentioned Uttarkashi in his program.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Sunday in the 114th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Earlier, PM Modi thanked the listeners of the program for being the “real anchors,” as the program is set to complete ten years on October 3.

In the 114th episode, PM Modi said, “The listeners of Mann Ki Baat are the real anchors of this program. A commonly held belief has become so ingrained that as long as there are no spicy or negative conversations, it does not receive much attention. But Mann Ki Baat has proved that people are hungry for positive information. People like positive stories, inspiring examples, and encouraging stories very much.”

On the 10-year journey of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Modi said, “The 10-year long journey of Mann Ki Baat has created a garland of sorts in which every episode encompasses new sagas, new records; new personalities get added to it. Whatever work is taking place in our society with a sense of collectiveness, it gets recognition through ‘Mann Ki Baat’. My heart also swells with pride when I read the letters that come for ‘Mann Ki Baat’.”

PM Modi also urged the creators of the country to participate in the ‘Create in India’ challenge, conducted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. He said, “The nature of jobs is changing and new sectors are emerging. In order to promote your talent and creativity, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, has started 25 challenges under the theme, ‘Create in India’. You will surely find these challenges interesting. Some challenges even focus on music, education, and anti-piracy. There are many professional organizations associated with this objective and are providing full support to these challenges. To participate, you can log in to wavesindia.org. I specially urge the creators in the country to ensure participation and bring their creativity to the fore.”
