PM Modi in Mann Ki Baat: Don’t complain, start! PM Modi gave this new great mantra of success to the youth of the country

The 134th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s very popular program ‘Mann Ki Baat’ was aired across the country today i.e. on Sunday. On this special occasion, PM Modi once again interacted directly with the countrymen in his familiar style and shared some very positive and inspiring stories from every corner of the country.

In this time’s program, PM Modi first mentioned a very wonderful news from the world of sports. He told that just a few days ago ‘National Senior Athletics Federation Competition’ was organized in Ranchi, Jharkhand. In this competition, about 800 athletes from every corner of the country showed their strength. The most proud thing was that during this period, 4 new national records were broken in four different events. Taking the names of promising record-making players – Gurinderveer Singh, Vishal TK, Tejaswin Shankar, Dev Meena and Kuldeep Kumar, PM Modi congratulated all these colleagues for this amazing success.

When PM Modi spoke on phone to the brave runners of 100 meter race

Referring to the excitement created in the playground, Prime Minister Modi said that there was one event which is being discussed extensively in the entire country at the moment, and that is the 100 meter race. You will be surprised to know that within just two days the national record in the men’s 100 meter race was broken not once or twice, but thrice. Two great athletes who show this charisma are Gurinderveer Singh and Animesh Kujur.

During the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, an audio of PM Modi’s phone conversation with Gurindervir Singh and Animesh Kujur was also played to the countrymen. Encouraging both the runners, the Prime Minister said in a very interesting manner, “We had seen jugalbandi in music, but now jugalbandi in challenges is that once one challenges, the other takes up that challenge, and then does it for the third time. This has been a very interesting topic for you. Both of you have really done a wonderful job.”

PM Modi gives special kitchen tips to avoid extreme heat

After praising the players, PM Modi also mentioned the scorching heat in the country. He cautioned the countrymen and said that at present the mercury is very high in most parts of the country and it is extremely hot. It is most important to take care of your health in this season of strong sunlight and hot winds. He appealed to the people to keep drinking water continuously. PM Modi said that if it is necessary to go out in the sun, then go out with some caution and complete caution. Along with this, do not forget to follow the guidelines issued from time to time by different departments of the government.

The Prime Minister further smiled and said that in our country, the best way to fight the heat is often found directly from our own kitchen. You must have also noticed that as the temperature of summer increases, the taste and type of cooking in the kitchen of our homes also changes completely. At some places, the water from the cold pot comes out, at some places the thick curd starts solidifying, at some places the raw mangoes start boiling and after this, a wonderful round of the best desi beverages starts in the houses.

Discussion on famous country drinks from different states of the country

Talking about desi drinks, PM Modi said that you all are well aware of these traditional drinks. If you go to the states of North India, you will find ‘Aam Panna’ in every nook and corner which gives the taste of raw mango and provides instant relief from the heat. Whereas if you move a little further towards Punjab and Haryana, then there you will get to drink chilled Lassi filled in big glasses.

Similarly, in Rajasthan and Gujarat, buttermilk becomes an essential part of every lunch. Praising ‘Sattu Sharbat’, the pride of Bihar, Jharkhand and Eastern Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi said that it is something different, it fills the stomach and also gives instant strength to the body. In the regions of Konkan and Goa, Kokum Sharbat and Sol Kadhi are the life of summer. Whereas in South India, Panakam, Neer Mor, Sambaram and in Odisha, Bel Pana has its own craze. PM Modi stressed that these are not just drinking items, but they are an integral part of the rich tradition of different regions of our India.

When ‘Mann Ki Baat’ started talking about everyone’s favorite mango

It is impossible to mention the summer season and not mention the king of fruits, mango. PM Modi said that as soon as summer comes, another special discussion starts in every house of the country and that is mango. There would hardly be any family in India where there is no discussion about mangoes during summers. The beauty of our country is that every region has its own mango, its own unique taste and its own fragrance.

Taking the names of famous mangoes from different parts of the country, PM Modi said that Hapus i.e. Alphonso mango of Maharashtra and Konkan and Kesar mango of Gujarat are the real life of mangoes made everywhere. After this he made special mention of the famous Dussehri of Uttar Pradesh and the Langra mango of his own parliamentary seat Varanasi (Kashi). Describing a very interesting and special thing about Langra mango, PM Modi said that even after being ripe, this mango sometimes looks completely green from outside. Apart from this, Jardalu mango of Bihar, whose charming fragrance is recognized by people from a distance, and names like Chausa and Malda are associated with the childhood memories of millions of people of the country.

Prime Minister praised the famous mangoes and farmers of South India

Taking this discussion of mangoes forward, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also praised some of the most famous mangoes of South India. He said that if you go to South India, you will get to eat the best mangoes like Banganapalli, Totapuri, Neelam and Malagova. At the same time, Himsagar mango of West Bengal and Suvarnakha mango of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are also very famous for their taste. That is, as the place changes in India, the appearance, colour, name and taste of mango also changes completely.

Expressing happiness, PM Modi said that this journey of mangoes is no longer limited to just our villages or local markets, but it is now rapidly reaching the global market as well. From the platform of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, he wholeheartedly appreciated all the farmer brothers and sisters of the country who grow mangoes. Encouraging the farmers, PM Modi said, “You are not an ordinary farmer for the agricultural economy of the country, but you are very special for us. You all keep working hard like this and keep bringing glory to the country.”

When ancient copper plates of Chola dynasty returned to India

In the next part of his address, PM Modi shared a very important information related to the history and pride of the country with the countrymen. He said that recently he got a big opportunity to visit the beautiful country of Europe, Netherlands, where he participated in many important meetings. During this journey, such a historic moment also came, which made the chest of every Indian citizen swell with pride.

During a very special and grand ceremony held in the Netherlands, the ancient and precious Copper Plates of Chola Period of India were officially handed back to India. The most special thing was that the Prime Minister of Netherlands himself was present in that historic program with full respect. PM Modi said that he is continuously receiving many messages from within the country as well as from abroad regarding the return of these ancient copper plates to India. People are expressing their happiness and feeling proud on social media. Regarding this historic step, a different kind of special enthusiasm and happiness is being seen among the people of Tamil community spread all over the world.

Know what is special about these ancient plates recovered from Netherlands

Seeing the increasing curiosity among the common people of the country regarding these historical heritages, Prime Minister Modi also shared some very important and informative things related to this with the public. He told that these heritages recovered from Netherlands include a total of 21 large and three small copper plates. These plaques are mainly associated with the history of the great Chola king Rajendra Chola I fulfilling a sacred promise given to his father King Rajaraja Chola.

Explaining the historical importance of these ancient copper plates, PM Modi said that in them there is a clear mention of an entire village named ‘Aan Mangalam’ being donated to a Buddhist monastery. Along with this, the major historical achievements of the great Chola dynasty have also been beautifully described in these plaques. These documents clearly show how strong and vast the naval power of the Chola Empire was at that time. Not only this, very accurate information about how deep the trade and diplomatic relations of the Chola Empire were with all the countries of South-East Asia is also revealed to the world through these ancient plates.

Government’s efforts to preserve the invaluable historical heritage of the country

Referring to this glorious history of the Chola Empire, PM Modi said that all of us Indians will always be very proud of the rich history, art and culture of the Chola dynasty. Our government is continuously making serious efforts to preserve all such priceless and ancient historical heritages of India and to bring them back safely from abroad.

Talking further in this glorious episode, he informed the countrymen about another big and important discovery made under the ongoing ‘Gyan Bharatam Abhiyan’ within the country. PM Modi said that under this campaign, archaeologists have achieved a huge success in the historical area called Malhar of Chhattisgarh state. During the excavation here, three very rare copper plates were found. Historians and experts believe that these ancient plates are from the reign of the famous king Maharishi Balarjuna of the Panduvanshi dynasty, which will prove to be very helpful in understanding the ancient history of India.

The story of Akash Gupta of Basti district of UP, who changed the picture of the village.

After this, Prime Minister Modi narrated a wonderful and heart-touching story which has come from Basti district of Uttar Pradesh, which inspires the youth of the country. Praising Akash Gupta, a young resident of Basti, PM Modi said that Akash used to be very sad and troubled from within after seeing the poor condition of the historical ‘Manorama River’ flowing near his village. The reason for this was that the Manorama river which Akash had seen flowing absolutely clean, beautiful and lively during his childhood days, with the change of time and due to human carelessness, a huge amount of plastic and garbage started accumulating in that river. The filth of the river was increasing day by day.

Even in such adverse circumstances, Akash, like other people, did not choose the path of just cursing or complaining about the system. He firmly decided in his mind that he would not just complain against this situation, but would also move forward and make a new and solid beginning. Soon this idea of ​​“No complaints, start” became the biggest mantra of Akash’s life.

Youth themselves entered the river with shovel and basket, awakened the spirit of cleanliness

To turn his resolution into reality, Akash Gupta first included some of his close friends with him in this campaign. They had no big machines or modern tools for cleaning; All they had in mind was a simple net, a few shovels, baskets and, most of all, strength, an unwavering resolve to transform something big.

Praising this group of youth, PM Modi said that all these enthusiastic youth used to enter the dirty river water without any hesitation and after hours of hard work, they used to take out the hyacinth spread in the river. They used to pull out tons of plastic and harmful waste stuck inside the water with their hands. You can get an idea of ​​the hard work of these youth from the fact that many times these people together threw out huge garbage amounting to 50 to 60 kg from the chest of Manorama river in just one day.

The result of the continuous hard work of these youth was that gradually that entire part of the Manorama River once again started appearing as clean, beautiful and sparkling as before. When the shape of the river changed, the attention of many people from the surrounding villages was quickly attracted towards this wonderful work. Seeing this passion of the youth, a new awareness and sense of responsibility has arisen among the local people regarding their environment and cleanliness.

At the end of his address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also talked about the security system of the country. Assuring the nation, he said in clear words, “In the coming times, we will work vigorously towards the development of indigenous weapons and further strengthening the mutual integration of our three forces – Army, Navy and Air Force.”
