The episode highlighted India’s growing spirit of resilience, innovation, and unity:
Shehdol’s Young Footballers: Talented football players from Shehdol, Madhya Pradesh are now receiving training opportunities in Germany – a major step in boosting India’s sports talent at the global stage.

Khelo India Water Sports Festival: The grand sporting event on the iconic Dal Lake in Srinagar positioned J&K as an emerging hub for water adventure sports, strengthening the vision of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.
Inspiring Stories of Self-Reliance: PM Modi praised the efforts of “Solar Didi” from Bihar, a woman security guard who became an inspiration by embracing solar technology for empowerment. Such stories, the Prime Minister said, are shining examples of India’s grassroots women-led development model.
Reiterating the unifying mantra of development, PM Modi said:
“One mantra, one path, one goal – ‘Vocal for Local’, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Viksit Bharat.”
The Prime Minister also touched upon issues of climate awareness, women empowerment, and India’s youth power driving innovation in sports, technology, and sustainability. He urged citizens to not only consume local but also champion local entrepreneurs, artisans, and innovators, thereby strengthening the nation’s economy from the ground up.
The 125th episode of Mann Ki Baat once again became a platform of positivity and inspiration, showcasing how small steps by individuals, communities, and states are collectively steering India towards the dream of a developed nation.
