New Delhi, December 27:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the nation through his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday. This is the last ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address of the year 2020.
In the previous edition of the monthly radio programme, PM Modi had emphasised on strong, vibrant and active alumni network, and urged educational institutions to adopt innovative methods and develop creative platforms for engagement with alumni.
The Prime Minister said that a strong vibrant and active alumni network is needed not only in big Colleges and Universities but also in schools of our villages.
