== Background ==<br />
Narendra Modi addresses the nation every month on [[All India Radio]]. Having officially started from 3 October 2014, the programme aims to deliver the Prime Minister's voice and ideas to the general masses of India. Since television connection is still not available everywhere in India, especially in the isolated, rural and less developed regions, radio was chosen to be the medium for the programme, owing to its wider reach. An estimated 90% of the total Indian population is reachable over the medium.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.livemint.com/Politics/hdhhF1FzazRPQCrZegyr8I/Narendra-Modis-All-India-Radio-chat-show-starts-Friday.html|title=Narendra Modi's All India Radio chat show starts Friday|author=Gyan Varma|work=livemint.com/|date=October 2014|access-date=29 January 2015|archive-date=6 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141206114101/http://www.livemint.com/Politics/hdhhF1FzazRPQCrZegyr8I/Narendra-Modis-All-India-Radio-chat-show-starts-Friday.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Doordarshan's'' Direct to Home (DTH) service free dish relays feeds of the 20-minute-long episodes, to television and radio channels.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-25|title=PM Modi addresses 79th episode of Mann Ki Baat radio show.

==Reception==<br />
A study by [[Centre for the Study of Developing Societies]] (CSDS) in November 2022 found that at least 60% of Indians never listened to the programme and concluded a very low listenership of the programme.<ref name="the-wire-low-listnership" /><br />
<br />
The programme has been well received by the target audience, especially the urban masses residing in metropolitan cities across the country. A survey in 2014 conducted on the lines of estimating the show's success, in 6 Indian cities including [[Mumbai]] and [[Chennai]], has indicated that some 66.7% of the population had tuned in to listen to the Prime Minister's address and had found it useful.<ref>{{citation|title=Modi's 'man ki baat' was heard by 66% of listeners in 6 cities|newspaper=The Times of India |date=14 October 2014 |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Modis-man-ki-baat-was-heard-by-66-of-listeners-in-6-cities/articleshow/44816024.cms|access-date=29 January 2015|archive-date=16 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141016201251/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Modis-man-ki-baat-was-heard-by-66-of-listeners-in-6-cities/articleshow/44816024.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2017, an AIR survey found that the maximum listeners came from the Bihar, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh; while the states of Andhra Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh had the lowest awareness.<ref name=":3" /><br />
<br />
''Mann Ki Baat'' became a major source of revenue for the [[All India Radio]]. In 2015, the usual ad slots on AIR sold for {{INRConvert|500}} - {{INRConvert|1500}} per 10 seconds, but a 10-second ad slot for Mann Ki Baat cost {{INRConvert|2|l}}.<ref>{{citation|title=PM Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' turns big business for All India Radio|date=21 February 2015|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/46318943.cms|newspaper=[[The Economic Times]]|access-date=21 February 2015|archive-date=23 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223114303/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/46318943.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><br />
