Some of the issues that came up for discussion before the government officers were electricity shortage, drinking water problems, education and schools. The officials visited all the 4,500 panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir, even those panchayats which are prone to cross border firing," said PM in his monthly radio programme.
Modi also announced a quiz contest for school students on India's space missions and science, and asked school authorities to take part in it. PM said that winners of the contest would go to Sriharikota in September to witness the landing of Chanderyan-2 on the surface of moon.

Mr Modi also spoke about the other side of monsoon - the overjoyed farmer, chirping birds, gurgling waterfalls and earth wrapped under green cover.

Mr Modi said whether it is government or NGOs, something or the other is being carried out on a war footing on this issue. He also hailed the villagers of Aara Keram in Jharkhand where the rural folk toiled collectively to change the course of a mountain spring.
This has led to not only stopping soil erosion and prevention of crop damage, but also facilitated effective irrigation of fields.
Mr Modi also applauded Meghalaya for formulating its own Water Policy. He also hailed Haryana where crops that require meagre water are being encouraged.
The Prime Minister said the Cleanliness campaign which began five years ago gathered momentum with mass participation and is now setting up newer benchmarks in cleanliness and sanitation. He said this movement has now advanced from cleanliness towards beautification.

Recently, Saini has picked up the gauntlet to not just clean up Delhi, but to beautify it.
Referring to his appeal to people in his last Mann Ki Baat programme to read books, Mr Modi said it has generated an immense response.
