While addressing the nation in the 34th edition of Mann Ki Baat radio programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged the youth of India to come up with innovative ways to create a ‘New India’ by using the online medium so that social evils are eradicated.
The PM called on the nation’s youth to remember the ‘ August Kranti Diwas’ or Quit India Movement of 1942 and said that a similar resolve must be taken to end corruption, communalism and casteism in the country.
“If 125 crore Indians decide to do something for the country, resolve like the one of ‘August Kranti Diwas’ in 1942.We can shape a new future for India in 2022. We have to make 2017 as a year of resolve. Poverty, corruption, communalism, casteism must quit India. All individuals and institutions should resolve, come up with new ideas, contribute to New India,” he said.
“Let’s transform this campaign into a people’s movement,” PM Modi added.
He added that a ‘Tweet India Quiz’ will be launched on the NarendraModi App, so that the youth gets to connect to India’s rich history.
“This quiz is an effort to connect youth to India’s proud history,” he said.
In his address, he also praised daughters of the country and said that they are making India proud in various fields. PM Modi said though the women’s cricket team did not win the World Cup, they made the country very proud.
