Here are the big takeaways from PM Modi’s Mann ki Baat.
- He started his speech by talking about the recent weather and how many parts of the country are battered by heavy rains. He said that humans have chosen this way of locking horns with nature for development leading to disastrous consequences. He urged the nation to become nature’s caretakers then only nature will maintain its balance.
- PM Modi emphasised the need to care for the environment. ‘It should be our duty to care for the nature, protect our environment, and maintain balance of our natural resources,’ said Modi.
