The last time the show aired was on February 25, however it was put on hold for the Lok Sabha elections.

Mann Ki Baat was introduced on October 3, 2014, and its goal is to interact with different groups within Indian culture, such as women, the elderly, and young people.

PM Modi highlighted women’s contributions to society in the 110th episode of Mann Ki Baat. “A few years ago, no one would have thought that women in our villages would be flying drones,” he remarked. However, this is starting to happen now.
The prime minister also spoke about the Lok Sabha elections, improving livestock farming, and supporting wildlife conservation.
PM Modi thanked the people of India for their faith in the constitution. The 2024 election was the world’s largest election, where several crore people have voted, and I thank each and every person for this.
