About 'Mann ki Baat'

The first episode of Mann Ki Baat was aired on October 3, 2014, the year when PM Modi took charge. 

The radio talk show is broadcasted on last Sunday of every month, where PM Modi addresses the nation and talks on issues of public concern, the government's policies, and achievements.

The show not only highlights the government's actions but also talks about significant citizen action in priority areas and in turn encourages listeners to take part in change-making initiatives in their own communities.
