New Delhi, 29 Dec. 2024: In the 117th episode of his monthly radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to India’s Constitution, calling it the country’s “guiding light” as it prepares to mark 75 years of its existence.
The Prime Minister hailed the Constitution for withstanding the test of time and guiding the nation in its journey.
“On January 26, 2025, we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of our Constitution. It fills all of us with great pride. The Constitution given to us by our framers has been a beacon of stability and progress, enabling me to stand here today,” Modi remarked during his address.
To further strengthen ties with the Constitution’s history, the government launched a new digital platform, constitution75.com, to encourage citizens to engage with the legacy of India’s constitutional journey.
Shifting focus, Modi spoke about the upcoming Maha Kumbh, describing it as “the Maha Kumbh of unity,” highlighting the absence of divisions and the celebration of diverse unity. “Our Kumbh is an embodiment of unity in diversity—a sight unlike any other globally,” the Prime Minister noted. According to him, the Kumbh’s message is reflected in the belief: “Ganga Ki Aviral Dhara, Na Bante Samaj Hamara.”
Innovative technology will play a pivotal role at the Kumbh this year. The Prime Minister revealed that AI technology would be employed for the first time, including a chatbot that will provide essential information in 11 languages. “The AI-powered system will assist pilgrims by helping them navigate the area and reconnect with lost family members,” Modi explained. Digital maps will guide visitors to various key locations, including ghats, temples, and parking areas.
Finally, Modi praised India’s growing creator economy, which he believes plays a key role in achieving the country’s $5 trillion economy target.
He urged the youth to engage in next year’s World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) set to take place in India. “The summit is an important milestone in establishing India as a global leader in content creation, and I am proud of the passionate involvement of our youth in the preparations,” said Modi.
