Mann Ki Baat: PM Modi calls for protection of environment

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for protection of the environment and said conservation of water and forests was people’s responsibility, on the radio broadcast of ‘Mann ki Baat’. “Let us pledge to conserve every drop of water. Even if a single drop of water is wasted, it should hurt us,” Modi said in his 21st radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat’. Citing examples from states including Gujarat, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, the prime minister said, “So many states have undertaken wonderful efforts to mitigate the drought. This is cutting across party lines.” He also laid emphasis on using the “drip irrigation” technique to tackle drought.

Modi spoke about his meeting with the chief ministers of various drought-hit states. “I decided to meet every chief minister individually as opposed to calling all of them together and having one meeting,” he said. Modi said this year the UN decided the theme of the World Environment Day on 5 June will be the “Zero Tolerance for Illegal Wildlife Trade”. He congratulated the students who scored well in the CBSE exams. He said, “Congratulations to all the candidates for their scores. Happy to see girl students shine.” To the students who did not do so well, he said, “For those who did not clear and succeed,life does not stop here. There is a lot to do” He announced that he will be visiting Chandigarh on International Yoga Day. “Do not forget what I said about water, save it,” with that PM Modi concludes ‘Mann ki Baat’, appealing to save water amid water crisis and drought.
