Mann ki Baat: A Decade of Reflections

Mann Ki Baat stands out as a unique initiative led by any political leader. Prime Minister Modi celebrates peoples resolve and action to bring about societal change and transformation. This approach deviates from routine speeches and makes this a refreshing and powerful alternative to connect with the masses.

The report is the result of an extensive study of the 99-episode transcripts of Mann Ki Baat published from 2014-2023 using Natural Language Processing tools. It is a comprehensive compilation of a ‘decade of reflection’ on the impact that the platform championed by Prime Minister Modi has made on galvanizing people’s resolve and action to bring about societal change and transformation.

The report was was released at a media conference event on April 28, 2023 by Shri Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati; Shri Akash Tripathi, CEO, MyGov and Dr. Amit Kapoor, Chairman, Institute for Competitiveness in presence of Dr. Mark Esposito, Hu’lt International Business School and Harvard University Professor; Shri. Hari Menon, Country Director, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Dr. Michael Green, Economist and Chief Executive Officer of the Social Progress Imperative. The report release was timed around the special milestone of the completion of the 100^th episode of the popular radio program Mann ki Baat hosted by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri. Narender Modi.
