PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat: Stay Safe from Heatwaves and Celebrate India’s New Sport Records
From refreshing sattu sherbet to record-breaking sprints and ancient Chola plates, PM Modi’s latest Mann Ki Baat covers it all. Stay safe and stay inspired!
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation in the 134th episode of Mann Ki Baat this Sunday, focusing on the pressing issue of the ongoing heatwave across India. With temperatures soaring, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of staying safe and taking necessary precautions. He urged citizens to stay hydrated and follow all government-issued health guidelines to avoid heat-related illnesses.
Adding a local touch to his advice, PM Modi spoke fondly of India's traditional summer beverages. He mentioned local favorites like aam panna, lassi, buttermilk, and sattu sherbet. He also highlighted regional specialties like kokum sherbet and sol kadhi, describing these drinks as products of centuries of local wisdom and tradition. This advice follows a recent Union Cabinet meeting where ministers strategized on how to manage the intense heatwave situation nationwide.
Switching gears to sports, the Prime Minister celebrated the incredible performance of Indian athletes at the National Senior Athletics Federation Competition in Ranchi. He specifically lauded sprinters Gurinder Veer Singh and Animesh Kujur, who broke the national 100-metre record three times within just two days. Modi shared his conversations with the athletes, noting their determination to prove that Indians can indeed compete at the highest global levels in sprinting.
The address also touched upon India’s rich cultural heritage. PM Modi expressed pride over the return of 24 Chola-era copper plates from the Netherlands, a move that has resonated deeply with the global Tamil community. Furthermore, he mentioned a significant archaeological find in Malhar, Chhattisgarh, where ancient copper plates dating back nearly 1,500 years were recently discovered.
Concluding his address, the Prime Minister highlighted community-led conservation efforts. He praised the successful rescue of a Gangetic dolphin in Uttar Pradesh and efforts to protect the Great Indian Bustard. These stories, he noted, reflect the extraordinary contributions of ordinary citizens toward building and preserving the nation’s natural and cultural wealth.
