In an effort to
fulfill his promise of sharing his thoughts with the people through All
India Radio at least twice a month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s next
‘Mann ki Baat’ broadcast will be on 2 November.
"Looking forward to the 2nd "Mann Ki Baat" radio programme on Sunday 2nd
November 2014 at 11AM," the Prime Minister tweeted.
"Once again, I invite you to share thoughts, comments and examples of good
governance initiatives that have left an impression on your mind," the
Prime Minister added.
An Open Forum has been created on MyGov.in where ideas and thoughts for
the radio programme can be shared.
Meanwhile, AIR director general F Sheheryar told indiantelevision.com that
270 private and AIR FM channels all over the country had carried the
broadcast earlier this month, apart from almost all the television news
channels. The address in Hindi was also streamed live on several websites.
It is learnt that the broadcast was accessible to 91 per cent of the
population
In his address on 4 October, Modi had
announced that he will talk to the nation at least on two Sundays every
month via radio, since that was the only medium that reached everyone
including the farmers.
In his first radio address titled Mann Ki baat on the occasion of Vijaya
Dashami, he had called upon people to regularly send him their views
through the social media as he had received many constructive suggestions
in the past few weeks.
He had said AIR helped him get connected with the maximum number of people
and with those who have no access to TV. “I am really happy to be talking
to you on the radio. I can reach all of you through radio, especially our
poor, the villages. Today is the start. In future too I will keep talking
to you on the radio. It will be on a Sunday at 11:00 am,” he said
