Page 43 - Mann Ki Baat English

“We do Zero Waste Management. After Banana Harvesting, we use
the banana stem to make fiber, and handicraft from that fiber; and
from edible parts we make papad, pickle etc. Having been mentioned
in 'Mann ki Baat' was a great experience. But I was shocked to know that
Modi Sir has taken my name in his episode. It was
a great moment for me. After meeting the Union
Ministers, I felt really happy. Such events create
awareness, because when I started, people didn’t
know anything about my work, but now the people
recognise me wherever I go.“
-Varsha, Karnataka
(Mentioned in 107th episode of 'Mann ki Baat')

These inspiring citizens represent the spirit of a nation that

listens, recognises, and celebrates its people. Their journey from
'Mann ki Baat' to the Republic Day parade underscores a simple yet
profound idea: Every sincere effort matters, and every grassroots

story deserves the national stage.
