NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi will address the nation in the ninth edition of the 'Mann Ki Baat' programme on All India Radio (AIR) at 11am today.

In 'Mann ki Baat', the prime minister shares his thoughts with the nation. The programme aims to deliver the PM's voice to the general masses of the country since television connection is still not available everywhere, especially in the rural regions of remote locations.

In the last 'Mann Ki Baat' episode aired on May 31, the Modi had assured that his government would launch the One-Rank, One-Pension scheme.
