In “Mann Ki Baat” radio speech on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the nation’s youth’s involvement in the space and artificial intelligence (AI) industries and stated that obesity was a problem that could be overcome with little dietary changes. In addition, he said that, in honor of Women’s Day next month, he will dedicate a day on his social media platforms to women.
“Last month, the country witnessed the launch of Isro’s 100th rocket. This is not just a number; it reflects our resolve to touch new heights in space science daily. Our space journey had commenced rather modestly,” said the prime minister. Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) had launched about 460 satellites over the decade, including satellites of many other countries, he said.
Prime Minister Modi said that young people had many possibilities to use AI and that Indians were embracing new technologies at a quick pace, citing the positive feedback given to India’s AI industry at the Paris AI Action Summit earlier this month.”Be it the space sector or AI, the ever-increasing participation of our youth is begetting a new revolution. The people of India are second to none in adopting and trying new technologies,” he said.
In addition, PM Modi stated that childhood obesity was becoming a bigger problem. According to him, making little dietary changes might be a significant step in the fight against obesity.”Decide that you will use 10% less oil every month. You can decide that while buying oil for cooking, you will buy 10% less oil. This will be an important step towards reducing obesity,” he said.
On March 8, International Women’s Day, PM Modi also declared that he will give women access to his Instagram and X (previously Twitter) social media accounts.
“…this time, on Women’s Day, I am going to embark upon an initiative for a day which will be dedicated to our Nari-Shakti. On this special occasion, I am going to hand over my social media accounts, like X and Instagram, to some inspiring ladies of the country. Women who have achieved success in myriad fields, who have innovated and created a unique identity for themselves in various fields. On 8 March, they will share their work and experiences with our countrymen,” he said.
PM Modi also reminded listeners about the contribution of women in the Independence struggle. “The MatriShakti of the country has also played a big role in our freedom struggle and the creation of the Constitution,” he said. He also lauded the contribution of women in India’s growth story. “If you observe in any field, you will find how extensive the contribution of women is,” he said.
