Here are the top quotes from PM Modi:
On culture and heritage
- I want to share some good news with all of you at the beginning of Mann Ki Baat. Every Indian will be proud to know that a very old Devi Annapurna idol is being brought to India from Canada. This idol was stolen from Varanasi and smuggled out of India about 100 years ago.
- The return of the Mata Annapurna idol also coincides with World Heritage Week held a few days ago.
- Despite the crown this time, we saw people celebrate World Heritage Week in an innovative way. With the help of technology, culture works as an emotional recharge. Today, many museums and libraries in the country are working to make their collection completely digital.
- I was recently reading about an interesting project. There is an island called Svalbard in northern Norway. An ‘Arctic World Archive’ project has been launched on this island. Valuable heritage data has been stored in this file. Information on the heritage of the Ajanta caves has also been digitized and will be available in this archive.
- The culture of India and the Shaastras, knowledge has always been a center of attraction for the whole world. Many people came to India to discover them, to study them. I had the opportunity to know the work of Jonas Masetti also known as Vishwanath.
- Jonas studied Vedanta Philosophy in India and stayed at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Coimbatore for four years. Jonas has another specialty: he uses technology to spread his message.
- Newly elected New Zealand MP, Dr. Gaurav Sharma, took the oath in Sanskrit. The spread of Indian culture by the Indians fills us with pride. Through Mann Ki Baat, I extend my best wishes to Gaurav Sharma ji.
On farmers and innovation
- New dimensions are being added to agriculture and its related activities in India. You should also know how Jitendra Bhoiji, a farmer from Maharashtra’s Dhule district, made use of recently enacted farm laws.
- Mohammad Aslam ji is working in a similar way to raise awareness among farmers in Baran district, Rajasthan. He is also the executive director of an organization of agricultural producers. I hope this makes CEOs of companies happy that farmers in remote areas are now becoming CEOs too.
- Consciousness begets spirit. Shri Virendra Yadav ji is one of those enterprising farmers, who has influenced the lives of thousands through his conscience. To find a solution to the stubble problem, Virendra ji bought a straw baler for which she also received financial assistance from the department of agriculture.
- November 12 marked the beginning of the celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Salim Ali ji. He has done illustrious work in the field of Bird Watching. I have always been a fervent fan of Bird Watchers for their patience. Many bird watching societies are also active in India. You should also connect with this topic.
About the coronavirus
- About a year has passed since the world learned of the first corona case. Since then, the world has experienced several ups and downs.
- Coming out of the lockdown, the discussion about the coronavirus vaccine has started, however any kind of negligence regarding the corona can be deadly even now.
- We have to continue to fight firmly against corona.
In Guru Nanak, Sri Aurobindo and Ambedkar
- Tomorrow, November 30, we will celebrate the 551st Prakash Parv, the anniversary of the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. All over the world, the influence of Guru Nanak Dev ji is clearly visible.
- Shri Guru Nanak ji had stayed at Lakhpat Gurudwara Sahib in Kutch during his Udaasi, his spiritual journeys. I was lucky enough to visit Lakhpat Gurudwara Sahib when I was not even CM. I used to feel immensely energized being there.
- December 5 is the anniversary of Sri Aurobindo’s death. The more we read Sri Aurobindo, the greater the insight we get. As today, when we move forward with the ‘Vocal For Local’ campaign, Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy on Swadeshi shows us the way.
- Not that Sri Aurobindo was ever averse to learning something from abroad. Wherever there is something new, we must learn from there, then support, encourage what can be good for our country. That is the spirit of the Vocal For Local campaign in Atma Nirbhar Bharat.
- In the last few days I had the opportunity to interact with students from various universities. Through technology, I was able to connect with students from IIT-Guwahati, Delhi, Deendayal Petroleum University of Gandhinagar, JNU, Mysore University, and Lucknow University.
- I would like to urge students to continue giving back to their educational institutions, be it their schools or universities. When it comes to giving something back, nothing can be considered big or small. Even the smallest help matters. Every effort is important.
- Friends, Punya Tithi of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, the anniversary of death is December 6. In addition to paying tribute to Baba Saheb, this day is also an occasion to reaffirm our resolve to the country and fulfill the duties assigned to us by the Constitution as individuals. .
- A large part of the country is also witnessing the onset of winter. With this climate, we must take care of children, the elders of the family, especially the sick, and we must also take precautions.
- Friends, next time we meet, 2020 will come to an end. With new hope and faith, we will move forward. Any suggestions or ideas you may have now, please continue to share them with me. Best wishes to all of you. May all of you stay healthy and active around the country.
