Highlights from PM Modi Mann Ki Baat
- The fight against the coronavirus is people-driven. The people and the whole administration is coming forward in this fight against coronavirus. Every citizen of India is a soldier in this fight from the pandemic.
- Whether it is a city or village, everywhere we can see people getting involved in this fight against this life-threatening pandemic. Some are feeding poor, some are manufacturing masks and some are even selling their lands to raise the money for help. Some are contributing money from their pensions and savings. Our nation farmers are ensuring that no one sleeps hungry.
- We have created a digital platform covidwarriors.gov.in . In this platform around 1.15 crore people, including doctors and nurses, have joined. I urge you to join the portal and become a COVID warrior.
- Whether it is our businesses, office culture, education, medical sector every field is adapting new changes amid pandemic and in a post-coronavirus world.
- Amid the crisis, we get to know the value of the person. We are realising the importance of people working in our houses, working in shops, drivers etc. We are now realising the importance of the work of people during this coronavirus lockdown.
- In this crucial time, when India does not need to share medicines with other countries and no one will even object. But keeping Humanity alive within us, India pushed its limits to own self-interests and considered the humanitarian needs of the world. We are providing medicines to different countries as a moral responsibility.
- When I talk to the leaders of other countries, they thank India and people of India. India’s Ayurveda and Yoga is making its place and talked about across the world.
- Coronavirus has made to go through us many changes, the most relevant among them is wearing a mask. Masks have now become a part of life due to this pandemic. It doesn’t mean if someone wears a mask, they are sick. Masks have now become a symbol of a civilised society.
- Another major and good change that has been created amid coronavirus is that spitting is a bad habit and poses grave dangers for health. It is “better late than never”. So people have got an opportunity to give up the habit of spitting. This will benefits us. It will increase our basic hygiene and strengthen the fight against COVID-19.
- While celebrating Ramazan last year, no one would have ever thought that the next time it will be so difficult during Ramzan time. This time, let us pray to the god that the world may get freed from the Coronavirus by the time of Eid. It is also the time to maintain social distancing. We have to be alert, continue being careful and should take the right precautions.
