Addressing the nation on the 68th edition of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, Modi had said: “Computer games are also very famous. Both young and old play them. But most of them are influenced by the West. We should have India-centric games. We can be ‘Aatma Nirbhar’ in this regard.”

Besides this, Modi also praised the citizens for their unprecedented restraint and simplicity in their festivals during the COVID-19 pandemic. He hailed farmers for increase in sowing area for different grains.

“This is a time for festivals but at the same time, there is also a sense of discipline among people due to the COVID-19 situation…There is a close link between nature and our festivals,” he said.
