He acknowledged the significance of positive narratives and stories in connecting with the people of the country, stating, “The listeners of Mann Ki Baat are the real anchors of this program. A commonly held belief has become so ingrained that as long as there are no spicy or negative conversations, it does not receive much attention. But Mann Ki Baat has proved that how hungry the people of the country are, for positive information. People like positive stories, inspiring examples, encouraging stories very much”.
Reflecting on the journey of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ over the past decade, PM Modi emphasized the diverse range of topics and personalities that have been featured on the show.

Whatever work is taking place in our society with a sense of collectiveness, it gets recognition through ‘Mann Ki Baat’. My heart also swells with pride when I read the letters that come for ‘Mann Ki Baat'”.
Call to Action for Cleanliness under ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’
In addition to celebrating the loyal listeners of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Modi urged the countrymen to actively participate in the campaign for cleanliness under the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’. Emphasizing the importance of sustained efforts towards cleanliness, he stated, “We have to connect as many people as possible with the ongoing campaign for cleanliness. And this is not a campaign for one day or one year; it is a task to be undertaken continuously for ages. This is work to be done until ‘cleanliness’ becomes our nature. I request all of you to take part in the cleanliness campaign along with your family, friends, neighbours or colleagues”.
PM Modi also commended the success of the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’, noting the growing popularity of the ‘Waste to Wealth’ mantra among the people.
