During the 139th episode of his monthly radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted various Indian agricultural products and community initiatives. He specifically noted the international export of makhana (fox nuts) from Purnia, Bihar, to markets such as Greece, and the global popularity of pigeon pea (toor dal) from Kalaburagi, which has gained recognition in markets such as the Maldives. Local traders and cultivators in Purnia reported that this recognition has encouraged local youth to engage in makhana cultivation and trade, providing a boost to the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative. Additionally, the Prime Minister commended traditional farming practices in Punjab and environmental efforts in Uttarakhand aimed at restoring the Hewal River and natural water resources. He also addressed themes including organ donation awareness, scientific research, brain research, and the application of modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence. He described the program as a means to honor citizens contributing to nation-building, comparing the recognition of such individuals to a “spiritual pilgrimage”.
