Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation through his monthly radio programme Mann ki Baat on Sunday. It will be the 78th episode of the radio show and will be streamed at 11am on PM Modi's official YouTube channel and on PMO. The programme is broadcast on the entire network of All India Radio and Doordarshan and also on the AIR News website www.newsonair.com and Newsonair mobile App.
This Mann ki Baat by the Prime Minister comes after India began the next phase of the largest vaccination drive in the world, in which vaccine is being made available for free across the states and Union territories. It comes in the midst of preparations for the third wave of coronavirus disease (Covid-19). During the last Mann ki Baat, the Union government was facing huge criticism from the opposition parties for its mismanagement of the Covid pandemic as the daily cases recorded in the month of May reached as high as over 400,000.
