Touching on a variety of subjects, the prime minister in his address also lauded the respect given to various Indian languages like Kannada and Tamil in different parts of the country and abroad.

“The year 2026 is knocking at the door, and today, as I speak to you, memories of an entire year are swirling in my mind –– myriad images, many discussions, many achievements that bound the nation together. 2025 gave us many moments that made every Indian proud. From national security to the sports field, from science laboratories to the world’s biggest platforms, India left a strong mark everywhere,” Modi said in the 129th episode of ‘Mann ki Baat’.
He made a special mention of the operation undertaken by the Indian Air Force in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.

“This year, ‘Operation Sindoor’ became a symbol of pride for every Indian. The world saw that today’s India does not compromise on its security. During ‘Operation Sindoor’, images of love and devotion towards Maa Bharati emerged from every corner of the country. People expressed their feelings in their own unique ways,” Modi said.

The Mahakumbh at Prayagraj and the dhwajarohan at the Ram temple in Ayodhya were also underlined by the prime minister as big achievements.
“In 2025, faith, culture, and India’s unique heritage all came together. The Prayagraj Mahakumbh organised at the beginning of the year astonished the entire world. At the end of the year, the Dhwajarohan ceremony at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya filled every Indian with pride,” Modi said.He expressed satisfaction at the promotion of Swadeshi during the festive season in the second half of the year. He had given a call to all Indians to buy Indian made goods.

“People are purchasing only those goods that bear the sweat of an Indian and the fragrance of Indian soil. Today, we can proudly say that 2025 has given India even greater confidence,” he said.

He applauded the achievement in the field of science and space, stating that Shubhanshu Shukla became the first Indian to reach the International Space Station. He mentioned the efforts made towards environmental conservation and wildlife protection this year.

Among other commendable goals was the victory of the Indian men’s cricket team at the ICC Champions Trophy and of the women’s cricket team in the world cup for the first time.

“India’s daughters created history by winning the Women’s Blind T20 World Cup. The tricolour also fluttered high with pride in the Asia Cup T20. In the World Championship, para-athletes proved by winning several medals that no obstacle can come in the way of zeal and determination,” he said.

Modi praised the role of youth in India’s achievements which have made the world look towards the country with great hope. “The biggest reason for hope in India is our youth power. Our achievements in the field of science, new innovations, and the expansion of technology have greatly impressed countries around the world,” he said.

Among the matters of concern, he noted that natural disasters took place at many places in the country.

He expressed confidence that 2026 will bring new hope and resolutions for the people which will take the country towards more notable achievements.
