During his 116th Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi expressed concern over the decline of sparrows in cities, noting many children have seen them only in pictures. He praised Chennai's Kudugal Trust for training children to build 10,000 sparrow homes, boosting the local population. Modi celebrated the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign for planting 100 crore trees in five months. He highlighted Indore's sapling record, Jaisalmer women’s afforestation drive, and innovators turning textile waste into eco-friendly products.
