In his monthly radio address, Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi encouraged citizens to support local artisans and bolster the "Vocal for Local" campaign as India prepares to celebrate Deepavali. The Prime Minister highlighted the success of Indian products in global markets, noting that Bihar's makhana and Karnataka's arhar dal are gaining traction worldwide.
He also praised the growing popularity of Khadi, which supports traditional artisans, and the revival of organic farming practices in Punjab through the Kheti Virasat Mission. Additionally, Modi commended the efforts of villagers in Tehri Garhwal district who have worked to revive the Heval river, which had begun to dry up due to dwindling natural water sources.
The Prime Minister emphasized that Mann Ki Baat serves as a platform to connect with the nation's people and honor their contributions.
