Jairam Thakur Highlights Key Initiatives by PM Modi

Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s *Mann Ki Baat* program, calling it a groundbreaking platform that has effectively connected citizens with governance. He highlighted how the program has fostered public participation in initiatives like cleanliness drives and environmental awareness, resulting in significant societal impact. Thakur particularly lauded the success of the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign, which has led to the plantation of over 100 crore trees within five months. He emphasized that this achievement reflects not just awareness but also a deep commitment to environmental conservation, as people are actively maintaining the trees they plant.

Additionally, Thakur discussed PM Modi’s vision to engage over one lakh talented youth in Indian politics by 2025, especially those with no political family background. This initiative, tied to Swami Vivekananda’s 162nd birth anniversary, is expected to revolutionize India’s political landscape by introducing fresh perspectives and fostering leadership among young individuals. Thakur expressed confidence that such efforts will play a pivotal role in shaping India’s political future while promoting sustainable development and participatory governance.
