'Mann Ki Baat' powerful medium of communication, says Haryana CM

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini says PM Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' is a powerful communication medium, inspiring youth and highlighting social innovations.

"'Mann Ki Baat' is a powerful medium of communication between the Prime Minister and the general public. - Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, April 26

Saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' programme is a powerful medium of communication, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday listened to it in Gurugram.

Before the programme, the Chief Minister paid floral tributes to Syama Prasad Mukherjee and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya.

Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh was also present on the occasion.

Chief Minister Saini also attended the 'Jan Aakrosh Mahila Sammelan'.

He said the main objective of the Prime Minister's 'Mann Ki Baat' programme is to establish communication.

Through this programme, Prime Minister Modi discusses issues of social, economic, and cultural importance every month.

Conveying government policies and initiatives to citizens and understanding their feedback is also an important aspect of this programme, Chief Minister Saini added.

He said 'Mann Ki Baat' is a powerful medium of communication between the Prime Minister and the general public.

"Through this programme, inspiring stories of positive efforts, social innovations, and public participation from across the country are highlighted, which spread positive energy in society and promote a spirit of harmony," he added.

The Chief Minister said the monthly radio programme inspired especially the youth towards innovation, self-reliance, and nation-building.

"'Mann Ki Baat' not only provides direction to ideas but also conveys a message to citizens to move forward with a sense of development, service, and responsibility," he added.

Joining the issue, State Energy and Transport Minister Anil Vij said the Prime Minister's mention of the 1857 uprising in 'Mann Ki Baat' was highly significant.

To commemorate this historic movement, a grand 'Shaheed Smarak' is being constructed in Ambala Cantonment at a cost of around Rs 700 crore.

The memorial vividly depicts the first war of independence that began on May 10, 1857, along with the struggles and sacrifices made across the country.

It showcases key locations such as Ambala, Meerut, Jhansi, and Kashmiri Gate, as well as the contributions of great warriors like Rani Lakshmibai and Tatya Tope.

He said many heroes of 1857 did not receive due recognition and tribute in history.

Keeping this in mind, a special 'tribute zone' has been created within the 'smarak', where visitors will be able to pay homage to those martyrs who were long overlooked.

Minister Vij expressed hope that the 'Shaheed Smarak' would soon be inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi.

Honestly, these programs feel more like PR exercises than genuine dialogue. The CM praising it is expected – that's politics. But common citizens rarely get their voices heard in such controlled settings. 🤷‍♂️

The idea of a 'tribute zone' for forgotten 1857 martyrs is beautiful. Growing up, we only learned about Rani Lakshmibai and Bahadur Shah Zafar – so many local heroes remain unknown. This can truly educate our youth. Kudos to the Haryana government for this Rs 700 crore project! 👍

As an NRI living in Canada, I tune into Mann Ki Baat whenever I can. It keeps me connected to my roots. The focus on innovation and self-reliance resonates with young people worldwide. Though I wish they'd discuss more global issues like climate change in the show.

Good initiative but Rs 700 crore on a memorial? We have thousands of villages without proper roads and schools. Priorities seem skewed sometimes. The sentiment is noble, but development should come first. Just my opinion.

Attended a Jan Aakrosh Mahila Sammelan last month in my district – finally some real dialogue with women! But these programmes need to be more than just photo ops. Hope CM Saini actually listens to the feedback from such events. The Shaheed Smarak is a brilliant tribute though. ❤️
