Lok Sabha Speaker, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan today released two books on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and handed over the first copies to President, Shri Pranab Mukherjee today at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The first book, ‘Mann Ki Baat: A Social Revolution on Radio’ has been compiled by Bluekraft Digital Foundation*. The book highlights PM Narendra Modi’s effective use of radio as a medium to connect with common citizens across length and breadth of the country. The book has two parts – first part being analysis of Mann Ki Baat and the second having the transcripts of Prime Minister’s Mann Ki Baat episodes.

While introducing the book, Shri Rajesh Jain said that PM Modi had frequently highlighted issues like cleanliness, skill development, education, women empowerment and youth-led development through his Mann Ki Baat. He added that PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat had remained apolitical even during elections and he had been able to connect with people from all walks of life.

The second book, ‘Marching With A Billion Dreams’ has been authored by Shri Uday Mahurkar. The book focuses on PM Narendra Modi’s way of governance. Introducing the book, Shri Uday Mahurkar said that in the last three years of the government, there had been great focus on transparency.

While addressing the guests at the book release, President Pranab Mukherjee said, “PM Narendra Modi is a very effective communicator. The subjects chosen by PM Narendra Modi in Mann Ki Baat affect the lives of a billion people. He has given new direction to the economy. Some decisions have been epoch making ones.”

Vice President, Shri Hamid Ansari said that Mann Ki Baat was an ingenious and influential communication platform created by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that Mann Ki Baat had become an important element of the Prime Minister’s direct-to-people communication strategy, encompassing social media platforms like Twitter, the government’s citizen engagement platform, mygov.in, and his personal App.

Lok Sabha Speaker, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan said that Mann Ki Baat had become a medium of two-way interaction and gained immense popularity. Shedding light on several aspects of the books, the Lok Sabha Speaker said, “The issues raised in Mann Ki Baat are very relevant that can connect widely. Under the Prime Minister's leadership the push to digital infrastructure is commendable.”

Finance Minister, Shri Arun Jaitley said that India was looking for decisive leadership in 2014. Appreciating the Prime Minister for Mann Ki Baat, he added, “Over the years the radio saw decline. But it was the PM who spotted the strength of the radio as a medium. The Prime Minister uses the radio to directly communicate with the people.” 

* An earlier version of the article inadvertently mentioned Rajesh Jain as the author. The book is compiled by Bluekraft Digital Foundation. Rajesh Jain introduced the book at the event as the Director of Bluekraft Digital Foundation.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will undertake a visit to Assam on 20-21 December. On 20th December, at around 3 PM, Prime Minister will reach Guwahati, where he will undertake a walkthrough and inaugurate the New Terminal Building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

On 21st December, at around 9:45 AM, Prime Minister will pay tribute to martyrs at Swahid Smarak Kshetra in Boragaon, Guwahati. After that, he will travel to Namrup in Dibrugarh, Assam, where he will perform Bhoomi Pujan for the Ammonia-Urea Project of Assam Valley Fertilizer and Chemical Company Ltd. He will also address the gathering on the occasion.

On 20th December, Prime Minister will inaugurate the new terminal building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati, marking a transformative milestone in Assam’s connectivity, economic expansion and global engagement.

The newly completed Integrated New Terminal Building, spread over nearly 1.4 lakh square metres, is designed to handle up to 1.3 crore passengers annually, supported by major upgrades to the runway, airfield systems, aprons and taxiways.

India’s first nature-themed airport terminal, the airport’s design draws inspiration from Assam’s biodiversity and cultural heritage under the theme “Bamboo Orchids”. The terminal makes pioneering use of about 140 metric tonnes of locally sourced Northeast bamboo, complemented by Kaziranga-inspired green landscapes, japi motifs, the iconic rhino symbol and 57 orchid-inspired columns reflecting the Kopou flower. A unique “Sky Forest”, featuring nearly one lakh plants of indigenous species, offers arriving passengers an immersive, forest-like experience.

The terminal sets new benchmarks in passenger convenience and digital innovation. Features such as full-body scanners for fast, non-intrusive security screening, DigiYatra-enabled contactless travel, automated baggage handling, fast-track immigration and AI-driven airport operations ensure seamless, secure and efficient journeys.

On 21st December morning before heading to Namrup, Prime Minister will also visit the Swahid Smarak Kshetra to pay homage to the martyrs of the historic Assam Movement, a six-year-long people’s movement that embodied the collective resolve for a foreigner-free Assam and the protection of the State’s identity.

Later in the day, Prime Minister will perform Bhoomipujan of the new brownfield Ammonia-Urea Fertilizer Project at Namrup, in Dibrugarh, Assam, within the existing premises of Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL).

Furthering Prime Minister’s vision of Farmers’ Welfare, the project, with an estimated investment of over Rs. 10,600 crore, will meet fertilizer requirements of Assam and neighbouring states, reduce import dependence, generate substantial employment and catalyse regional economic development. It stands as a cornerstone of industrial revival and farmer welfare.
