Come August 12 and the world will see a completely different side of Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he features on Man vs Wild, learning the tricks of survival in untamed wilderness with the show host Bear Grylls to raise awareness about protecting nature.
“People across 180 countries will get to see the unknown side of PM @narendramodi as he ventures into Indian wilderness to create awareness about animal conservation & environmental change,” Grylls tweeted, sharing a short video of the show that will be aired on Discovery channel on August 12 at 9 pm.
Speaking about the show, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said, “For years, I have lived among nature, in the mountains and the forests. These years have a lasting impact on my life. So when I was asked about a special programme focussing on life beyond politics and that too in the midst of nature I was both intrigued and inclined to take part in it.”
Watch | PM Modi to feature in ‘Man vs Wild’ with Bear Grylls
“For me, this show presents a great opportunity to showcase to the world India’s rich environmental heritage and stress on the importance of environment conservation and living in harmony with nature. It was a great experience spending time in the jungle once again, this time with Bear, who is blessed with indefatigable energy and quest to experience nature at its purest,” the Prime Minister further said.
A trailer for the programme shows Modi, 68, driving into the Jim Corbett National Park in northern India guided by Grylls, with images of a tiger, a herd of elephants and deer running in the distance.
“You are the most important person in India, it’s my job to protect you,” Grylls tells Modi.
The popular show, which is in its 8th season, features Grylls tackling extreme challenges and navigating through remote locations around the world, sharing invaluable survival strategies along the way.
Among the celebrities that have earlier featured on the show are actors Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Ben Stiller, Michael B. Jordan and and then President Barack Obama (in December 2018).
The US president trekked through a remote part of Alaska to promote action on climate change. “I’m skinny but tougher than I look,” said Obama of the challenge.
The president drank tea made from catkins and melting glacier water and nibbled on a half-eaten salmon, which Grylls later told media, had been discarded by a bear.

A Jammu & Kashmir police note to its officers on Monday sought minute details of mosques located across the Kashmir valley.
According to the District Police Headquarters, Srinagar, all Superintendent of Police-level officers in the capital were directed to start gathering information on local mosques.
“Provide details of your mosques and their managements falling under your jurisdictions,” the order read.
The details sought included the name of the mosque, ideological affiliation, name of the local imam (priest) and the management head.
A similar drive has been started across the Valley.
The fresh order comes in the wake of earlier orders of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to deploy 10,000 more security personnel, directions to local police officers to be on heightened alert and an alarm sounded by the Railways police over “likely deterioration in the law and order situation in J&K.”
Meanwhile, Vijay Kumar, Advisor to Governor Satya Pal Malik, speaking to ANI, said, “If somebody is causing panic or rumour on the social media, then I should not be countering it. What is the source of this rumour? It won’t be proper for me to keep reverting every time.”

Srinagar: Panun Kashmir an organisation representing the Kashmiri Pandits has said that they will not return to the Valley till the Centre carves out a separate centrally-administered Union territory for their rehabilitation.
The body also demanded abrogation of articles 370 and 35A of the Constitution, claiming that these had led to displacement of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley.
Referring to a reported meeting between moderate Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and a group of displaced Kashmiri Pandits, who also met several BJP leaders over the past two weeks, Panun Kashmir chairman Ajay Chrungoo dismissed the move as a “ploy” by the Centre to compromise with the pro-freedom leaders.
Kashmiri Pandits will not return to the Valley till the Centre carves out a centrally-administered Union territory along the Jhelum river for the community, he told reporters.
Srinagar: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Sunday said patients at Kashmir hospitals are not treated with dignity and respect.
“Patients feel alienated by the non-committal attitude and professional distance they encounter at hospitals in Kashmir,” said DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan.
“Failure to take into account patients’ concerns and expectations, lack of warmth and friendliness on part of doctors leave patients dissatisfied,” he said.
“Patients recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of a physician,” he added.
“Kind words, compassion and empathy have equal hand in cure as much as medical competence does. But this need is often not met,” Dr Nisar said.
He said patients are not treated with courtesy and doctors do not spend time in talking, listening and more importantly hearing them.
Dr Nisar said there are reported observations of doctors avoiding discussion on emotional and social impact of patients’ problems which adversely affects their recovery.
“You might have healed their physical illness, but hurt in their feelings by the interpersonal treatment they receive, Dr Nisar said adding that any treatment can be undone in just a few moments by the physician’s wrong attitude.”
He said in the past, hospitals were looked as most trusted friends, but there has been a steep decline in positive feelings about hospitals.
“Long wait times for consultations and long delays in procedures are provoking and frustrating for patients. They are left uncared for most of the time and attendants are forced to take care of their patients which otherwise is the duty of hospital staff,” Dr Nisar said.
He said hospital environment is uncomfortable and distressing which is pushing patients in despair.
“Uncleanliness, poor food and noisy environment are adding to the woes of patients. There is no privacy in wards which makes patients uncomfortable and communication difficult between patients and doctors,” said Dr Nisar.
