Mann Ki Baat: In his first Mann Ki Baat of 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation with special warmth, marking the 75th anniversary of India's Republic Day. He started the episode by extending an early Republic Day wish to all citizens, noting that this year’s celebration holds particular significance.

PM Modi’s Tribute to India's Great Leaders

The Prime Minister began his address by paying homage to India’s visionary leaders, acknowledging their immense contributions to the nation's progress. He also emphasized the importance of Republic Day, which this year commemorates 75 years since the implementation of the Indian Constitution.

“This Republic Day is very special,” said PM Modi, as he spoke about the pivotal role the Constitution has played in shaping the nation. The address also included a tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, with PM Modi playing a segment of Ambedkar’s speech about unity and cooperation in the Constituent Assembly. He also shared audio of Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, highlighting their invaluable contributions to India’s democratic principles.

National Voters' Day and Strengthening Democracy

PM Modi also reminded the nation that Republic Day is preceded by National Voters' Day, which honors the establishment of the Election Commission of India. He praised the Election Commission for modernising the voting process, using technology to ensure fairness, and encouraging greater participation in India’s democratic system. “India is the mother of democracy,” PM Modi declared, urging citizens to actively engage in the country’s electoral processes.

The Legacy of India’s Constitution

In his previous Mann Ki Baat episode, PM Modi had highlighted the importance of India’s Constitution, which will complete 75 years of implementation on January 26, 2025. To celebrate this milestone, the government has launched a special website, constitution75.com, where citizens can read the Preamble in different languages, upload videos of their readings, and explore the Constitution’s enduring legacy.

Since its launch in 2014, Mann Ki Baat has been a platform where PM Modi connects with the people of India, sharing important national themes, celebrating achievements, and discussing topics of social relevance. The program has gained massive popularity, with citizens from all walks of life tuning in to hear the Prime Minister’s thoughts and ideas.
