In a stirring address to budding police officers in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ as a catalyst for societal positivity and grassroots involvement in India’s progress. Delivered at the state police academy just before the latest episode aired on February 22, Patel described the program as more than broadcasting—it’s a national stage for uplifting tales of resilience.
Focusing on everyday heroes who defy odds to serve communities, ‘Mann Ki Baat’ spotlights dedication that resonates deeply with law enforcement professionals. Such examples foster heightened responsibility and duty consciousness among officers, according to the governor.
He implored recruits to tune in consistently, absorbing lessons as vital guidance for their careers. Training isn’t just skill-building; it’s the foundation of a career defined by service to the underprivileged, Patel remarked, with the uniform embodying solemn vows of protection.
Winning public confidence demands polished professionalism blended with compassion, he added. The program’s accounts of personal initiatives driving large-scale impact underscore the power of individual action. Discipline, politeness, and readiness are non-negotiable for police to instill safety and trust in citizens.
Patel inspired the audience to weave these insights into daily life, confident they’ll fortify the force while honoring core service principles.
