Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the Census is not merely a government exercise but a responsibility in which every citizen must participate. He assured that the information provided by people during Census 2027 will remain completely secure and will be stored in digital form. He urged all citizens across the country to actively take part in the process. Addressing the nation during the latest edition of the radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister described the achievement of “criticality” at the Fast Breeder Reactor in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, as a historic milestone for the nation. He praised the efforts of nuclear scientists and said that the civil nuclear programme would play a vital role in India’s development.

He said the country’s installed wind power capacity has surpassed 56 gigawatts, placing India fourth in the world. He noted that the dairy sector is witnessing rapid transformation and is giving Indian traditional flavours a new identity.
