PM Modi Hails Record-Breaking Khadi Mahotsav in Mann Ki Baat Address

In his remarks at the 106th broadcast of Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that Khadi Mahotsav has shattered every record this month.

“Earlier this month, Khadi witnessed record sales in Delhi. This month’s ongoing Khadi Mahotsav has once again broken all records. On Gandhi Jayanti, Khadi witnessed record sales,” said PM Modi. 

He highlighted the use of ‘Vocal for Local’ during festivals. “Like every time, this time too, in our festivals, our priority should be ‘Vocal for Local’ and let us together fulfill that dream, our dream is ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. India is becoming the biggest manufacturing hub of the world.”

The Prime Minister went on to say that October 31st is particularly important to Indians since it’s the Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birth anniversary.

“We Indians remember him for many reasons and pay our respects. The biggest reason is his incomparable role in connecting more than 580 princely states of the country,” PM Modi said. 

PM Modi declared that the MYBharat organisation will be established on this occasion to give young people a chance to actively participate in a variety of nation-building activities.

“The foundation of a very big nationwide organization is being laid on 31st October and that too on the birth anniversary of Sardar Saheb. The name of this organization is – My Young India, i.e. MYBharat. MYBharat organization will provide an opportunity for the youth of India to play an active role in various nation-building events,” the Prime Minister said.   

He also described the meaning of Amrit Kalash Yatras which are now reaching the national capital. 

“Recently, I had been requested to collect soil from every village and every house in the country. After collecting soil from every house, it was kept in a Kalash and then Amrit Kalash Yatras were taken out.”

“This soil collected from every corner of the country, these thousands of Amrit Kalash Yatras are now reaching Delhi. Here in Delhi, that soil was poured into a huge Bharat Kalash, and ‘Amrit Vatika’ will be built from this sacred soil in Delhi,” he added. 

PM Modi also announced that India will celebrate Tribal Pride Day on November 15. 

“This special day is associated with the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda. Lord Birsa Munda resides in the hearts of all of us. We can learn from his life what true courage is and what it means to stand firm on one’s determination.”
