The twelfth volume of Mann ki Baat tells stories of people who were determined to convert their knowledge and efforts into results.

From Javed Ahmad Tak, who started an inclusive school for children with disabilities after becoming disabled, from Santosh Singh Negi, a teacher who used his knowledge of rainwater harvesting to solve water shortage issues and prevent flooding, to M Yoganathan, a bus conductor who planted thousands of saplings and taught classes about environment conservation with his own time and money, these people have used their experiences and knowledge to succeed and help the world around them.
