• ‘Mann Ki Baat’ is a source of inspiration, motivation, and nation-building ideas: Prof. Jasim Mohammad

NEW DELHI: The Centre for Narendra Modi Studies (CNMS-NaMo Kendra) has written to Union Minister for Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, requesting that Mann Ki Baat be introduced as a subject in the curricula of universities and colleges across India through UGC.

In the letter addressed to the Education Minister, Prof. Jasim Mohammad, Chairman of the CNMS, highlighted the significance of the Prime Minister’s monthly radio address, broadcast through All India Radio, which has successfully completed over 124 episodes.

The letter states, “Mann Ki Baat has been a source of inspiration, motivation, and nation-building ideas. It has addressed several crucial themes, including social reform, youth empowerment, innovation, self-reliant India, and the country’s rich cultural heritage.”

In alignment with the vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India), the NaMo Kendra has urged the Ministry of Education Dharmendra Pradhan to make Mann Ki Baat a compulsory subject in both higher and school education. The proposal notes that, “Studying this subject will inspire students to connect with real-life examples of determination and success.”

Citing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the letter further emphasises, “We strongly recommend that Prime Minister Narendra Narendra Modi’s address, Mann Ki Baat, be made a mandatory subject in higher education. This will help students gain deeper insights into leadership’s role in India’s socio-economic transformation and nation-building.”

According to the Centre for Narendra Modi Studies, including Mann Ki Baat in the academic syllabus will instil value-based education, fostering a sense of responsibility and purpose among students. The letter concludes with a strong appeal: “We once again urge you to take the necessary steps to introduce Mann Ki Baat as a subject in all universities, colleges and Schools under the UGC and CBSC/ICSC and State School Board, ensuring its integration into higher and school education.”
