5 life lessons from Narendra Modi’s Mann ki Baat

As scheduled Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi delivered his ‘Mann ki Baat’ this Sunday. With his speech, he appealed to his fellow citizens to work towards a better India. Besides talking about ‘Swachh Bharat’ (Clean India), his Britain tour and the first ever Indo-Africa summit held in India, he showed the world how the common man is making a difference in the nation’s history.

1. Help others to help yourself- In his speech Modi talked about the school students who are campaigning rigorously to promote organ donation, breaking the stereotypes, spreading awareness and encouraging participation. With this Modi highlighted the importance of one of the most important social campaigns. Donate today to be tomorrow’s survivor.

2. Live peacefully with your neighbours- Narendra Modi promoted international harmony on the context of the first ever Indo-Africa summit in India. This reminds us of the murder of the Nigerian youth in two years ago. When a whole other nation is taking the pain of coming to India to promote friendly relationships with us, we should reciprocate the same, to do the least.

3. Youth is the future of the nation- Instilling the qualities of social harmony, equality, brotherhood and peace at a very young age is of utmost importance for the well being of a country. A school student’s poem is an eye opener to India which depicts his love for Africa.

4. Giving fair chance to the thousands of job seekers from rural India- Narendra Modi declared that no interview scheme would be deployed keeping in mind the truth about those who do not get a fair chance in the interview process for various reasons.

5. It is never too late to learn- Modi prasises teh efforts of a common man in a small village of Andhra Pradesh who has made it mandatory for every student in his class to bring his/her parents to school in the evening. He made the world realise that to eradicate illiteracy we have to educate the older generation too.
