Create a film about your grandparents, and share it with us!

In the latest episode of Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged Indian children to engage with their grandparents and ask them about their life as children: what sports they played, which theatre or cinema they went to, which relatives they visited, festivals they celebrated, and so on.

These stories would not just take the children to India back then, but also be an invaluable treasure for the family, to be cherished forever.

Here’s an opportunity for all children (and adults too), to interview their loved Dada-Dadis, Nana-Nanis or any other elder in the family, like ‘cub reporters’; video record the same; and share with the MyGov family!

Button dabao, kahani suno aur sunao!

I lost my Grandparents quite early in life. But I remember childhood memories of my Grandfather take me near the rail line close to my grandparent's home to see the passing trains. My Grandmother would give my 'Murir Moya', a Bengali sweet whenever I went in her room.

My grandfather, my father and our entire family were school masters in remote villages. after coming back from school we must change school dress and wash hands and legs before entering the house. my daily duty was to help my grand father in his Daily looks by cleaning, arranging flowers. before Dawn we must comeback from play to study. we didn't have TV, radio, phone, no electricity, no Taps. we were asked to take part in religious functions in temples. we taught to respect elders, women, child

Grandparents can tell us a lot about historical events that occurred before we were born in a much more fascinating way than we can read in a text book. Several ideas can really make this a fun week

If a grandparents day is scheduled have the GP participate in show and tell by bringing something that they have saved from their childhood. Even better if they can do this w/their grandchildren doing the same. Example: Grandpa brings his baby shoes and granddaughter brings her baby shoes for show and tell.
