Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his monthly radio programme “Mann ki Baat,” highlights several achievements he says bolster India’s security and self-reliance during June. He praises the successful maiden flight of India’s first C-295 military transport aircraft made in India. Modi also points to a DRDO test of the indigenous “Long-Range Land-Attack Cruise Missile.” In addition, he refers to naval developments earlier in the month, saying new ships were inducted into the Indian Navy. According to reports, the Prime Minister mentions INS Dunagiri, INS Sanshodhak, and INS Agray, and notes that he attended a Navy-related event in Kolkata where the inductions were discussed. Across the programme, Modi frames these developments as progress in defence capabilities and domestic manufacturing, linking them to broader national pride among citizens.
