New Delhi: The MyGov toll free number 1800-11-7800 has been activated for receiving ideas and suggestions from people for the Prime Minister's 'Mann ki Baat' for 31 January.

The lines will be open till 6.00 pm on 28 January.

MyGov introduced the toll free number facility from September 2015 to further broad-base the opportunity for citizens from non-internet enabled areas to submit their ideas and suggestions for the PM’s monthly ‘Mann ki Baat' radio broadcasts.

In the 15 episodes of ‘Mann ki Baat’ broadcast so far, more than 61,000 ideas have been received on the website and 1.43 lakh audio calls were also received. Each month, some selected calls become a part of the broadcast. The caller’s ideas and suggestions are heard by the country-wide ‘Mann ki Baat’ audience in the caller’s voice. So far nine such calls have been selected for broadcast.

The permanent toll free number 1800-11-7800 of MyGov has now been institutionalized for giving an opportunity to citizens to give their ideas and suggestions for the PM’s monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio broadcast.

Citizens are invited to submit their ideas and suggestions on issues of national development and as in previous episodes, some of the messages may become part of the broadcast.
