“May we leave an even better planet for generations to come,” he said.
PM Modi shared a short video of his last “Mann ki Baat” program in which he spoke of World Environment Day.
“This year’s theme is biodiversity … (it) is particularly relevant in the current circumstances. During the lockdown in recent weeks, the pace of life may have slowed down a little, but it has also allowed us rich diversity of nature or the biodiversity that surrounds us, “he had said.
Much of the bird life had somehow disappeared due to noise and air pollution, and now, after years, people can once again listen to their melodic song in their homes, said Prime Minister Modi.
He also pleaded to save rainwater, saying that traditional methods of conservation come in the form of very simple remedies, and using these “we can draw water”.
He also urged people to plant trees and make resolutions so that a daily relationship with nature can be forged.
The temperature is rising, so be sure to “make the water easier for the birds,” he said.
