PM Modi Seeks Nation's Blessings Before Departing for US: Early 'Mann Ki Baat' Address

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation a week earlier than usual in the 102nd edition of his monthly radio program 'Mann Ki Baat.' Breaking from the norm, this change was made as PM Modi is set to embark on his first state visit to the United States next week. The decision to address the nation earlier was motivated by his busy schedule in the US and his desire to seek the blessings of the people before his departure.

'Mann Ki Baat' is broadcast on the last Sunday of every month. However, the prime minister explained during his address, "As you all know, I will be in America next week, and the schedule there is going to be very busy, so I thought of seeking blessings of the people through ‘Mann Ki Baat’ before I leave for the US."

PM Modi's state visit to the US will mark his sixth trip to the country since assuming office in 2014. His visit to Washington DC on June 22 will commence with a warm welcome from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill. One of the highlights of the visit will be Prime Minister Modi's address to a joint session of the US Congress, followed by a historic state dinner.

Prior to the official state visit, on June 21, Prime Minister Modi will lead the 9th International Yoga Day celebrations at the United Nations headquarters in New York. During his 'Mann Ki Baat' address, he urged citizens to embrace yoga as part of their daily routine, emphasizing the benefits it brings to physical and mental well-being. He expressed his excitement about participating in the International Yoga Day program at the UN headquarters.

The 'Mann Ki Baat' radio program has evolved into a crucial component of the government's citizen-outreach initiative, connecting with various social groups, including women, youth, and farmers. It has inspired community action and received immense popularity. Broadcasting in 22 Indian languages and 29 dialects, 'Mann Ki Baat' has also been made available in 11 foreign languages, such as French, Chinese, and Arabic, among others.

The prime minister's early 'Mann Ki Baat' address serves as a testament to his commitment to engaging with the nation and seeking their blessings before important international engagements. As PM Modi departs for the US, his focus on promoting yoga and strengthening bilateral ties will undoubtedly be in the spotlight, highlighting India's influence on the global stage.

As the prime minister embarks on his journey to the United States, the nation eagerly awaits updates on his engagements and anticipates fruitful outcomes that will further strengthen India's relations with the international community.
