Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 119th episode of his monthly radio broadcast "Mann ki Baat". Hailing ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), PM Modi said the Indian science boy has made a century of sending satellites into space. He urged people to be a scientist for a day at least, and visit centres related to science.

The Prime Minister expressed concerns over obesity, saying it increased four-fold among children. "To become a fit and healthy nation, we have to tackle the problem of obesity. According to a study, today one in every eight people is suffering from the problem of obesity. Obesity cases have doubled in the past few years, but what is even more worrying is that the problem of obesity among children has also increased four-fold. Therefore, you should decide that you will use 10% less oil every month. You can decide that you will buy 10% less oil when you buy it for cooking. This will be an important step towards reducing obesity. By making small changes in our eating habits, we can make our future stronger, fitter and disease-free," he said.
