PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat highlights unsung heroes of society: BJP chief Nitin Nabin
Dehradun, May 30
Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin on Saturday praised the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Mann Ki Baat" programme in showcasing grassroots contributors working silently in society.
Addressing a meeting of Booth Committee 138 in Garhi Cantt in Dehradun, he said the programme brings forward stories of individuals who work for social change without seeking recognition.
"Through Mann ki Baat, we get to hear of people across the country who served society through their hard work and resolve, and keep doing their work without coming into the limelight. Such people do not want fame but they want a change in society through their work," BJP chief Nabin said.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiative helps give a national platform to such efforts.
"Through the efforts of the Prime Minister, these people receive a platform, and the citizens of the country also learn how people in different regions are serving society with such a selfless spirit, without any expectations," he said.
He further gave examples of the kind of work highlighted in Mann Ki Baat, adding, "Someone is working on water conservation and someone else in remote forests is providing education to poor and underprivileged families. There are many different types of people learning various farming techniques and conducting different experiments. The Prime Minister provides a platform for these efforts, and for us to get to know."
Earlier in the day, Nitin Nabin arrived at Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Dehradun to perform prayers and 'Jalabhishek' ritual.
He performed the rituals for Jalabhishek with devotion and offered milk, water (Jal), and flowers to the Shivling.
The temple visit comes on the final day of his three-day tour to Dehradun from May 28 to 30, during which he attended several party organisational programs.

While I appreciate the effort to highlight grassroots workers, I wish the party would focus more on implementing actual policies to support these unsung heroes rather than just talking about them. Recognition is good but systemic change is better. Still, the concept of Mann Ki Baat is commendable.
As a village boy myself, I can tell you that people doing such selfless work rarely get any attention from the mainstream media. The way Mann Ki Baat brings their stories to the national stage is truly heartwarming. Just last month, I heard about an elderly man in Rajasthan who built a small library for village kids on his own. Jai Hind! 🙏
Interesting to see how Mann Ki Baat connects people across different regions. I'm from the US but I've been following this programme occasionally. The concept of highlighting citizen-led change is powerful. Maybe we need something similar back home too!
Jalabhishek at Tapkeshwar Mahadev and then a speech about Mann Ki Baat - that's a good combination of faith and governance! But honestly, I wish our politicians spent as much time solving local problems as they do in organizing these events. The booth committee meeting sounds like a classic party organizational thing. Ack!
Mann Ki Baat has become a powerful tool for mass mobilization. Every month, crores of people listen and get inspired. The unsung heroes from my district - like the retired school teacher who runs a free coaching centre - finally get the recognition they deserve. This is what good governance looks like: empowering the silent doers! 👏
