Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday recalled ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ episode broadcasted earlier this month amid the exam season. He discussed the importance of awareness regarding Digital Arrest and Digital Fraud. During the 131st episode of Mann Ki Baat, he touched several issues, including exams, Maha Kumbh and story of Odisha's farmer Hirod Patel.
He also shared details about the Rajaji Festival that will be celebrated in Rashtrapati Bhavan, on 23 February. The 6-day exhibition is scheduled to start on 24 February and conclude on 1 March. PM Modi's key statements from latest Mann Ki Baat episode are provided below.
- "I hope you watched 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' earlier this month and learned something from it. You are exam warriors. I'm sure you're all wholeheartedly preparing for your exams."
- "You surely remember the amazing images of the Maha Kumbh around this time last year. The sea of humanity surging on the banks of the Sangam, the immense flow of faith, and in that sacred moment of bathing, it seemed as if India was ‘in communion’ with its ‘Sanatan Chetana'... But today, in our country, which is re-recognising its heritage, history has taken another turn, without any major announcement kerala Kumbh was organised."
- "The story of a young farmer named Hirod Patel in Odisha is truly inspiring. Until about eight years ago, he cultivated paddy in the traditional way with his father, Shiv Shankar Patel, but then, he began to approach farming from a new perspective."
- "In 'Mann Ki Baat', I have spoken to you at length about Digital Arrest. After this, a lot of awareness was generated in our society regarding Digital Arrest and Digital Fraud, but still, such incidents are happening... You all must be familiar with the process of KYC – Know Your Customer."
- "During the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, I spoke of the ‘Panch-Pran’ from the Red Fort. One of them is freedom from the mentality of slavery. Today, the country is leaving behind the symbols of slavery and has begun to value symbols related to Indian culture.
