NEW DELHI : With T20 series underway, vacations round the corner and FIFA Under-17 World Cup slated for the coming year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today made youth the focus of his ‘Mann ki Baat’, advising them on how to enjoy, how to learn from travel and tourism and how to use the coming FIFA event for global branding of India.
With April 7 being the World Heath day with focus on diabetes, the Prime Minister used the occasion to give tips to the people to defeat the debilitating disease and go for timely detection of other diseases like TB.
Mr Modi had water conservation also in his mind with summer knocking on the door and called upon people to conserve and create new water bodies.
Noting that youth of the country was completely swayed by the ongoing T-20 series, the Prime Minister stressed the need of excelling and adopting other games like football and tennis.
Though, he said it was good that the youth had again started taking interest in football which, for the last few decades, had been relegated into background.
He asked the young citizens of the country to make use of the coming FIFA event, which India is hosting this time, to show to the world the ‘Brand India’, and also invited suggestions from them regarding the events, theme song, facilities and ways to involve youth in the event. (AGENCIES)
