Here are the highlights: - Prime Minister Narendra Modi now addressing the nation through 'Mann ki Baat' radio programme.
- I am always excited to talk to you,to the people of this nation.
- Heat wave problems increasing due to environment degradation.
- World Environment Day on June 8 will be a wake call.
- I got the opportunity to meet the chief ministers of drought affected states.
- Decided to meet every chief minister individually as opposed to calling all of them together and having one meeting.
- So many states have undertaken wonderful efforts to mitigate the drought...this is cutting across party lines.
- Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh have used technology very well to mitigate the drought. Jan Bhagidari is also vital.
- Let us pledge to conserve every drop of water.
- World is moving towards a cashless society and more technology is being used.
- Through the JAM trinity we can move towards a cashless society.
- When we talk about the Olympics we do feel sad at the medal tally. But we need to create the right atmosphere to encourage athletes.
- Essential to be positive about our athletes. Let us not worry about the results.
- In this regard I want to appreciate Sarbanand Sonowal. In the poll season he went to NIS Patiala for a surprise visit.
- Everybody was surprised and noted how a Union Minister showed so much concern.
- There were polls, he was a chief minister candidate but Sarbanand Sonowal performed his duty as a sports minister. This is a big thing.
- Over last few days exam results have been coming. Congratulations to all candidates for their scores. Happy to see girl students shine.
