The App contains a new feature 'My Network' that empowers citizens to contribute towards making a positive difference in society.

Several daily tasks would also be put in this section at a very regular basis.

He added that through the App he has been able to connect with so many people, across India and the world and keep abreast with their views. He urged people, particularly youngsters to download the App so that they can stay connected.
Besides the above new features, the 'Narendra Modi Mobile App' is the one stop place for latest news relating to Shri Narendra Modi. Attractive infographics outlining the work of the NDA government can be found on the App. Users can also hear the Prime Minister's speeches, all the episodes of 'Mann Ki Baat' and can write to the Prime Minister.
This App is a part of the larger importance Shri Narendra Modi has given to technology, both in his personal and governmental sphere. He is an active presence on social media platforms and has inspired forums like MyGov to be formed to make governance more people centric.
