Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has boosted the morale of the state’s talents by mentioning them in Mann Ki Baat.
The Prime Minister has boosted the morale of other children by praising the contribution made by many children including our daughter Meenakshi of Katni district for TB-free India. This will certainly inspire other children to do such noble deeds.
Chouhan said that with the praise of the Prime Minister, there is no doubt that the children of the entire country will be more alert and aware of their duty towards the nation and the society. The inspirational thoughts and work of Prime Minister Shri Modi are inspiring children, youth and people to build a new India.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Shri Modi mentioned the contribution of children and said that “We all know how much children love piggy banks. But 13-year-old Meenakshi from Katni district of Madhya Pradesh and 11-year-old Bashwar Mukherjee from Diamond Harbor in West Bengal are different. Both these kids put their piggy bank money towards a TB-free India. Their example is full of emotions as well as inspiring. I admire all these children who think big at a young age.”
In Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Shri Modi also mentioned Gwalior resident Ku. Nidhi Pawaiya, who won the gold medal in the shot-put event in the recently concluded Khelo India University Games in Uttar Pradesh. The Prime Minister said that Nidhi Pavaiya, a student of Barkatullah University, Bhopal, despite a serious knee injury, managed to win the gold medal in shot-put. Nidhi is a resident of Chinaur village in Gwalior district and her father Chhote Singh Pawaiya is a farmer.
It is noteworthy that Nidhi stayed away from the game for the whole year till 2022 due to a knee injury during training in November 2021 and her entire last year was spent in recovery. However, Nidhi started practicing again from this year and won the shot-put gold medal in March 2023 at the All India University Games-2023.
