Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday held the 110th edition of his popular monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’. With the high-stakes Lon Sabha polls approaching near, PM Modi urged social media influencers in the nation to take part in campaigns aimed at motivating first-time voters.

"I will also appeal to the influencers of the nation, Whether they are from the world of sports, From the film industry, From literature, Other professionals, Or our Instagram and YouTube influencers. They should also actively participate in this campaign and motivate our first-time voters. It is the time for General Elections in the country Like earlier, possibly the model code of conduct will be enforced in March," he said.

PM Modi, while addressing the nation, acknowledged the surge in number of tigers in the country. "Due to the efforts of the government in the last few years, the number of tigers in the country has increased. The number of tigers in the Tiger Reserve of Chandrapur, Maharashtra has crossed the figure of 250. Here cameras have been installed at the border of the village and the forest. Whenever a tiger comes close to the village local people get an alert on their mobile phones with the help of AI," he said.

The main focus of PM Modi’s radio show was centred around wildlife and its conservation. He discussed the applications launched to monitor the speed of vehicles during jungle safaris. "A Bengaluru-based company has prepared apps named 'Bagheera' and 'Garuda'. With the 'Bagheera' app, the speed of vehicles and other activities during jungle safaris can be monitored," PM Modi said.

Hailing the spirit of coexistence, PM Modi noted how tribal families in the Melghat Tiger Reserve area have converted their houses into homestays with the help of the government.

PM Modi also named and applauded the contribution of many persons in the area of linguistics.

He urged people to keep sharing their achievements using #MannKiBaat and for people to share older episodes of the radio show as it was going off air for the next three months in light of the Lok Sabha elections.
