Chandigarh, Dec 29 (NationPress) The Chief Minister of Haryana, Nayab Singh Saini, stated on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the success story of Kurukshetra's initiatives in combating malaria during his renowned ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.

The Prime Minister praised Kurukshetra for establishing a model aimed at tackling malaria effectively. The Health Department of the state implemented special campaigns designed to limit mosquito breeding and raised awareness through radio broadcasts and various other platforms, which led to a significant decline in malaria cases.

The Prime Minister acknowledged the hard work of the state and noted that the World Health Organization (WHO) has also recognized India's proactive measures in malaria prevention.

Numerous saints, diverse traditions, various sects, and many Akharas come together in this event. There is no discrimination; everyone is treated equally. This remarkable display of unity in diversity is unparalleled worldwide. Thus, our Kumbh is truly the Maha Kumbh of unity,” the Prime Minister remarked.

Praising ‘Mann Ki Baat’ as an exceptionally educational and motivational programme, the Chief Minister noted that it “offers valuable perspectives across many areas, including sports, agriculture, health, and employment. Farmers have appreciated collaborative efforts through Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).”
