New Delhi, October 26, 2025 (The Trending People):
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the nation through the 127th edition of his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, touching upon themes of faith, culture, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. The Prime Minister extended heartfelt greetings to citizens on the occasion of Chhath Puja, highlighted the growing global recognition of Indian coffee, celebrated the success of GST Bachat Utsav, and appreciated India’s youth for reviving the Sanskrit language in creative ways.
Wishes on Chhath Puja: A Symbol of Unity and Devotion
Beginning his address with festive greetings, PM Modi described Chhath Puja as a “beautiful example of India’s social unity.” He noted that as the country continues its festive season — from Diwali to Chhath — the air is filled with faith, joy, and togetherness.
“Thekua is being prepared in homes, ghats are being adorned everywhere, and markets are abuzz with excitement. A blend of devotion, warmth, and tradition can be seen everywhere,” he said.
He praised the women observing the Chhath fast for their dedication and purity, calling their discipline “truly inspiring.” Modi emphasized that the festival embodies harmony between nature, culture, and society, symbolizing the spiritual essence of India’s traditions.
GST Bachat Utsav and the Rise of ‘Swadeshi’ Spirit
The Prime Minister then turned his attention to the GST Bachat Utsav, expressing happiness over the enthusiastic participation of people across the country. He highlighted that a remarkable trend this festive season has been the surge in the purchase of ‘Swadeshi’ products, reflecting the growing preference for locally made goods.
“In the letters people sent me, they shared the Swadeshi products they bought. This shows how India’s economic spirit and self-reliance are strengthening,” he said.
He also lauded innovative civic efforts promoting cleanliness and sustainability, citing the example of ‘The Garbage Cafe’ in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh — where food is exchanged for plastic waste — and a campaign in Bengaluru by engineer Kapil Sharma to revive lakes.
Operation Sindoor: A Symbol of National Pride
PM Modi spoke about Operation Sindoor, which he described as a moment of immense pride for the nation. He said the operation has illuminated hope in areas once affected by Maoist insurgency, remarking that “lamps of happiness were lit even in places once engulfed by fear.”
He reiterated the government’s commitment to completely eradicating the Maoist threat to ensure a safer and more prosperous future for children in those regions.
Honouring Indigenous Breeds: BSF and CRPF Lead the Way
Highlighting progress in promoting Indian dog breeds, the Prime Minister applauded the Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for increasing the number of native breeds in their contingents.
He mentioned that the BSF’s National Training Centre for Dogs in Tekanpur, Gwalior is focusing on training Rampur Hound and Mudhol Hound breeds using advanced technology and innovation.
PM Modi further revealed that the BSF will showcase a marching contingent of Indian breed dogs during the Ekta Diwas Parade at Ekta Nagar, Gujarat, as part of upcoming celebrations.
Indian Coffee Gets Global Spotlight
In one of the lighter moments of the address, PM Modi spoke about his affection for Indian beverages, shifting focus from his well-known association with tea to India’s thriving coffee culture.
“India’s coffee is at its finest — brewed in India and loved by the world,” he said, highlighting Koraput coffee from Odisha, which is gaining international attention alongside well-known varieties from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala.
He noted that coffee cultivation is transforming lives, especially for women in tribal regions and farmers in the North-East, further boosting India’s reputation in global markets.
Tribute to Komaram Bheem: The Hero of Tribal Resistance
PM Modi also paid homage to Komaram Bheem, the legendary tribal freedom fighter who led the Gond rebellion against British rule and the Nizams of Hyderabad. He recounted Bheem’s bravery in standing up against oppression and hailed him as a symbol of resistance and courage.
“Komaram Bheem lived only 40 years but left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions, especially among India’s tribal communities,” Modi said, commemorating his birth anniversary observed on October 22.
Youth Leading the Revival of Sanskrit
The Prime Minister dedicated a segment of his address to young Indians rejuvenating Sanskrit through modern platforms. He mentioned creators such as Kamala and Jhanvi, who produce Sanskrit content, and social media influencers like Samashti, Bhavesh Bhimnathani, and the creator behind the ‘Sanskrit Chhatroham’ channel.
“These young creators are making Sanskrit engaging and relatable for today’s generation. Their innovative work shows how India’s ancient language is finding new life in the digital age,” he said.
