Bhubaneswar: Elated over hearing her name in the radio programme “Mann Ki Baat”, Jamunamani Singh, a tribal woman of Balasore district in Odisha, on Sunday thanked PM Narendra Modi for recognising her fight against Malaria.
“I am very, very happy. I cannot express that Modi ‘Sarkar’ will take my name in his Mann Ki Baat programme. I thank him for recognising a small health worker like me,” Jamunamani said.
Jamunamani , a native of Tenda village, also said besides creating awareness against Malaria, she and her husband used to dissuade people against black magic. “The people in this area used to depend on quacks and black magic. I and my husband discourage people going to black magicians,” she said.
