In the 135th episode of his popular radio show 'Mann Ki Baat', Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a touching story about a family from Nanded district, Maharashtra. He highlighted the remarkable example set by the Pethkar family, who believed that sharing their happiness with others meant providing support during tough times. To embody this spirit, the Pethkar family arranged accident insurance for approximately 3,500 villagers during a wedding celebration at their home.
