Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his thoughts with the nation on the 16th edition of his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme.
This edition was also the first in the year 2016.
"Mann ki Baat has bound me with you so tightly that I feel strong urge to share it with you, whatever I see or think," PM Modi told the listeners.
"Yesterday, I went to Rajghat to pay homage to revered Bapu. This event is organised every year in honour of the martyrs," Modi said.
"Today, the 'charka' of solar power is running. People are writing to me about this solar 'charka'. They write to me telling me how solar power has changed their lives. Bapu was very conscious about this fact and that is how the 'charka' has reached till here," the PM stated.
"Khadi has the power to give livelihood for crores. It is essential for Khadi to find a place in the markets of India," the PM added.
"Khadi has become a symbol, a distinct identity in itself. Even in fashion, Khadi has made a place for itself," he said.
"Yesterday, on the the occasion of Martyrs Day, I tried to reach out to as many as possible to tell them about Khadi. Our foremost values are reflected in khadi," the PM said.
