In his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, PM Modi said, "This year, 'Operation Sindoor' became a symbol of pride for every Indian. The world clearly saw that today's India does not compromise on its security. During 'Operation Sindoor,' images of love and devotion to Mother India emerged from every corner of the country. People expressed their feelings in their own ways."
He further said that this same spirit was seen when "Vande Mataram" celebrated its 150th anniversary. He urged people to send their messages and suggestions using the hashtag "Vande Mataram 150." The countrymen participated enthusiastically in this campaign.
Prime Minister Modi said that 2025 was also a memorable year for sports. The men's cricket team won the ICC Champions Trophy, and the women's cricket team won the World Cup for the first time. India's daughters made history by winning the Blind T20 World Cup. The tricolor also flew proudly in the Asia Cup. Para-athletes won numerous medals at the World Championships, proving that no obstacle can stop courage.
He recalled that India has also made great strides in the fields of science and space. PM Modi said that Shubhanshu Shukla became the first Indian to reach the International Space Station.
In his address, PM Modi said that many efforts related to environmental conservation and wildlife protection also became the hallmark of 2025. The number of cheetahs in India has also increased to more than 30.
Speaking about faith, culture, and India's heritage, PM Modi said that the Prayagraj Mahakumbh at the beginning of the year astonished the entire world. The flag-hoisting ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya at the end of the year filled every Indian with pride. People's enthusiasm for Swadeshi was also evident. People are buying products that have been tainted with the sweat of an Indian and have the fragrance of Indian soil.
Prime Minister Modi said that we can proudly say that 2025 has given India more confidence. He also said that the country is now ready to move forward in 2026 with new hopes and new resolve.
