Dehradun, 28 Sep: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today attended the broadcast of the 126th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ at Parvati Prema Jagati Saraswati Vihar Maidan in Birbhatti in Nainital. He described the programme as a transformative initiative that instils a fresh mindset and steers the nation towards a constructive and positive direction.
The CM further reminded that PM Modi has called upon citizens to adopt Khadi and Swadeshi on Gandhi Jayanti, observed on 2 October. He urged the public to purchase at least one Khadi item on that day and to share their contribution on social media using the hashtag #VocalForLocal. Echoing this sentiment, the CM further appealed to the people of Uttarakhand to actively participate in this campaign and support the movement towards economic self-sufficiency.
He also mentioned Modi’s tribute to India’s daughters who etched a new chapter in history by completing the challenging 47,500-kilometre Navika Sagar Parikrama voyage. The PM’s remarks underline the importance of promoting innovation through locally produced goods and services. Dhami reiterated that the resolutions laid out by the Prime Minister to realise the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) are collective goals that demand unified effort and commitment from every citizen.
