From urging Indians to put out water for thirsty birds during arid summers, especially in North India, to bringing to light the gift of a mango sapling to wedding guests in a village near Pune, with its message of environmental conservation, the vignettes highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his monthly radio broadcast programme ‘Mann ki Baat’ have now acquired a book form.
“Igniting Collective Goodness: Mann ki Baat @100” published by BlueKraft Digital Foundation, puts together many of the interventions by civil society, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s own experiences shared with listeners into a single volume. The book is likely to be launched at the end of October or the early part of November in New Delhi.
BlueKraft was also the publishing house behind an earlier book on Prime Minister Modi titled “Modi@20: Dreams meet Delivery” as he completed 20 years in public office, both as Chief Minister of Gujarat and Prime Minister of India, with contributions to the book by Union Minister Amit Shah, Aadhar founder Nandan Nilekani and badminton champion P.V. Sindhu.
