New Delhi, Nov 30: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s latest edition of Mann Ki Baat on Sunday showcased a wide spectrum of national achievements—from advancements in aviation and space technology to record agricultural output, cultural celebrations, and inspiring stories of resilience and innovation among India’s youth.
Opening the address, the Prime Minister recalled a month filled with symbolic and historic moments. He noted that the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram was commemorated nationwide, while Constitution Day was observed with a special session in Parliament’s Central Hall. He also highlighted the hoisting of the Dharmadhwaja at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the inauguration of the Panchajanya Memorial at Jyotisar in Kurukshetra.
Modi underlined India’s expanding technological capabilities, mentioning the inauguration of the world’s largest LEAP engine MRO facility in Hyderabad. He said the induction of INS Mahe into the Indian Navy and the launch of Skyroot’s Infinity Campus in Hyderabad reflect India’s growing stature in the aerospace and defence ecosystem. “This represents the nation’s new energy—rooted in innovation and powered by the youth,” he said.
A significant portion of the address focused on India’s new agricultural benchmark. The Prime Minister announced that food grain production has reached a record 357 million tonnes, an increase of 100 million tonnes over the past decade. He said these results validate the country’s continuous efforts to strengthen farm productivity and secure food systems.
The Prime Minister drew attention to a unique drone-flying challenge organised by ISRO, where young innovators attempted to operate drones without GPS support—simulating Martian conditions. He praised a Pune-based team whose drone succeeded after repeated failures. “This spirit reminds me of the journey from Chandrayaan-2 to Chandrayaan-3,” he said, stressing that determination after setbacks is the true foundation of success.
Modi also applauded India’s rising honey production, citing examples from Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, and Nagaland. He noted that honey output has doubled in the last decade, while exports have tripled. Initiatives such as Gramjanya in Dakshina Kannada and Shivganga Kalanjiya in Tumkuru were highlighted for empowering farmers through scientific processing and collective marketing.
During his visit to Kurukshetra earlier this month, the Prime Minister experienced the newly developed Mahabharata Experience Centre, which uses immersive digital technology to retell the epic. He also praised the growing global interest in the Bhagavad Gita, with recent Gita festivals held in Saudi Arabia, Latvia, and other countries.
Recalling India’s humanitarian legacy, Modi mentioned the compassion shown by Jam Saheb Maharaja Digvijay Singh of Nawanagar during World War II, whose statue was recently unveiled in Israel. He described the incident as a reminder of India’s enduring culture of empathy.
The Prime Minister also spoke about his participation in a natural farming conference in Coimbatore and encouraged widespread adoption of eco-friendly agricultural practices.
Concluding his address, he urged citizens to participate in the upcoming Kashi Tamil Sangamam, beginning December 2, calling Tamil language and culture an eternal pride of India.
