He said democracy is a part of our culture and ethos.

Modi praised Indian citizens for thinking about larger interest of country.

"I have never received a letter related to #MannKiBaat where people are asking me for something that is for themselves. People talk about the larger interest of our nation and society," said he.

At a time, when majority of the people across the country are facing water crisis, Modi said there has been greater awareness on water conservation.

"Over the last few months, so many people have written about water related issues. I am happy to see greater awareness on water conservation. I wrote a letter to Gram Pradhans on the importance of water conservation and how to take steps to create awareness on the subject across rural India," said he.

"There is no fixed way to conserve water. In different parts, different methods may be adopted but the aim is same- to conserve every drop of water," sais the PM.

Appeal to all Indians, including eminent people from all walks of life to create awareness on water conservation.
Share knowledge of traditional methods of water conservation.
If you know about any individuals or NGOs working on water, do share about them."
