PM Modi asked Indians to share thoughts for his 12th Independence Day speech scheduled on August 15, 2025.

He encouraged people to use MyGov and NaMo App to post their ideas or topics for the national address.

Modi’s Independence Day speeches usually cover wide issues and include major policy announcements
In a democratic outreach to citizens, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 1, 2025, called upon Indians to share their ideas and suggestions for his upcoming Independence Day speech. This year will mark his 12th consecutive address from the Red Fort, and he has once again chosen to engage directly with the public through digital platforms.
Modi’s Public Appeal via Social Media
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi posted:
“As we approach this year’s Independence Day, I look forward to hearing from my fellow Indians! What themes or ideas would you like to see reflected in this year’s Independence Day speech?”
The message was a call for participatory governance, inviting every citizen to contribute to the national narrative by suggesting themes that matter most to them.
Where and How to Share Suggestions
PM Modi urged citizens to post their thoughts on two major digital platforms:
-
MyGov Portal (www.mygov.in)
-
NaMo App (available on Android and iOS)
Both forums have been designed to collect public feedback and engage citizens with policymaking, governance priorities, and national discourse.
This initiative is part of PM Modi’s broader strategy of strengthening direct public involvement in government decisions, especially on symbolic occasions like Independence Day.
Topics Typically Covered in Independence Day Speeches
PM Modi’s Independence Day addresses have traditionally gone beyond ceremonial remarks. Over the years, he has used the platform to:
-
Highlight India’s economic, defence, and social achievements
-
Outline policy reforms and developmental goals
-
Announce major government initiatives, such as Digital India, Swachh Bharat, Start-up India
-
Address challenges like terrorism, corruption, climate change, and youth employment
By inviting suggestions, Modi is making space for citizen-prioritised issues in this year’s national address.
A Democratic Ritual Turned Digital
This annual gesture of inviting public input has now become a ritual under PM Modi's leadership. It reflects a shift toward more inclusive governance, where the Prime Minister not only speaks to the people, but also speaks with them.
Through platforms like MyGov and NaMo App, lakhs of citizens have in previous years expressed their views on key topics like:
-
Women empowerment
-
Youth opportunities
-
Environment and sustainability
-
Healthcare and education reforms
-
Digital infrastructure
-
Rural development and farmers' welfare
Reactions and Public Engagement
Within hours of the announcement, #MyIdeaForIndia and #IndependenceDaySpeech began trending on X, as citizens and influencers shared their opinions.
Some of the most recurring themes in user suggestions include:
-
Measures to control rising unemployment
-
Emphasis on climate action and clean energy
-
Continued focus on infrastructure in tier-2 and tier-3 cities
-
Reforms in education policy and skill development
-
Assurance of freedom of expression and digital rights
What to Expect on August 15, 2025
While the final speech remains under wraps, PM Modi is likely to touch upon India’s global standing, progress in key sectors, and upcoming priorities for his government.
He may also:
-
Make new announcements in the areas of defence, healthcare, or AI innovation
-
Address international concerns, especially in light of ongoing global realignments
-
Reaffirm India’s commitment to peace, development, and inclusive growth
His last few speeches have included references to India’s Viksit Bharat vision, women-led development, and Make in India initiatives, and citizens can expect continuity on those fronts too.
Final Word
This initiative is more than just a public relations exercise. It underscores a shift in leadership style — one that is digitally aware, publicly engaged, and nationally inclusive.
As Independence Day approaches, the Prime Minister is not merely preparing a speech. He’s inviting a nation of 1.4 billion voices to contribute to the shaping of its message.
Whether it’s a farmer in Bihar, a teacher in Kerala, or a student in Gujarat, every voice matters.
So if you have something to say — be it an idea, hope, or concern — this is your chance. Visit MyGov or the NaMo App and make your opinion count.
