It is broadcast on the last Sunday of each month. The broadcast was last aired on February 25th and was paused in anticipation of the elections.
On June 18th, PM Modi announced the resumption of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on June 30th, inviting listeners to share their ideas and inputs for the program. He encouraged participation through the MyGov Open Forum, NaMo App, or by recording messages on 1800 11 7800.

I call upon all of you to share your ideas and inputs for the same. Write on the MyGov Open Forum, NaMo App or record your message on 1800 11 7800,” PM Modi shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Launched in October 2014, ‘Mann Ki Baat’ aims to engage with various segments of Indian society, including women, the elderly, and the youth. The broadcast is available in 22 Indian languages and 29 dialects, as well as 11 foreign languages such as French, Chinese, and Arabic.
