The 100th episode of PM Narendra Modi’s monthly radio program made its global broadcast on Sunday and it was no less than a historic moment for me and my family. I personally feel, which started on October 3, 2014, has become a key pillar of the government’s citizen-outreach program addressing multiple social groups and has spurred community action. It is the personification of our citizens; here we celebrate positivity, and people’s participation, said by PM. — VAIBHAV ATOLIA, Physician

I think the initiative has worked out nicely over time. A program like this helps the citizens connect better with their leader. The consistent messaging is that Indians are special people and should feel motivated in assisting the progress of our country.
