Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address citizens in India and listeners abroad through the latest episode of his monthly radio programme, Mann Ki Baat, on Akashvani at 11:00 AM today. This will be the 134th episode of the programme, which has become a regular platform for the Prime Minister to communicate directly with the public on issues of national importance, social initiatives, civic participation, and public welfare.
The broadcast will be carried across the full Akashvani and Doordarshan network, ensuring wide reach across television and radio audiences in the country. In addition to traditional broadcast channels, the programme will also be available online through the AIR News website and the Newsonair mobile application, giving listeners multiple ways to tune in from anywhere.
For digital viewers, the episode will be live-streamed on the YouTube channels of AIR News, DD News, the Prime Minister’s Office, and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. This multi-platform distribution reflects the growing emphasis on making the programme accessible to audiences across different media formats, including radio, television, web, and mobile devices.
Akashvani will also air the programme in regional languages immediately after the Hindi broadcast, allowing listeners from different linguistic backgrounds to hear the address in their preferred language. This step is aimed at increasing the reach and inclusivity of the programme across India’s diverse audience.
Mann Ki Baat has over the years evolved into an important monthly outreach initiative, with the Prime Minister using the platform to discuss topics ranging from social awareness and innovation to community service, youth participation, cultural heritage, and national campaigns. The programme is also viewed as a way for the government to connect directly with citizens without the format of a formal political speech.
Today’s episode comes amid continued public attention on the programme, which regularly attracts listeners and viewers from across the country and abroad. With its simultaneous availability on radio, television, websites, mobile apps, and YouTube, the broadcast is expected to reach a broad audience once again.
The 11:00 AM timing will allow listeners to follow the programme live on Sunday morning through any of the available channels. Given its wide distribution, the episode is likely to be heard and watched by audiences in urban and rural areas alike, as well as by members of the Indian diaspora overseas.
As the 134th installment, the programme continues its long-running format of direct communication between the Prime Minister and the public. The latest episode is expected to draw attention for the themes and messages Modi chooses to share with the nation and the wider world.
