The Prime Minister’s monthly radio address is coming days after he hailed the “collective spirit” of the 130-crore-strong ‘New India’ for achieving an incredible one billion-vaccines milestone. PM Modi is expected to speak about India's fight against the COVID-19 and the upcoming festivals in his Sunday's address.

In his last Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi had called for collective efforts to keep rivers pollution-free, on the occasion of World Rivers Day. "We mark so many days, but there is one more day we should celebrate. It is `World River Day`. This day is such which is very consistent with the traditions of India," the PM had said.

PM Modi, while underlining the importance of rainwater harvesting in Indian culture, had compared the traditional festivals of Jal-Jeelani Ekadashi and Chhatt with the National Water Mission`s (NWM) campaign "Catch The Rain".
