New Delhi: In an effort to reach out to the people of the country and directly interact with them, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a town hall style meeting on Saturday, which will be attended by some of the most prominent ministers of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

The nearly 10-hour-long event, which will have four sessions, will be attended by Modi. The event is being organised to celebrate the second anniversary of the MyGov platform, which was launched on 26 July 2014 by Modi.

“There are 35 lakh registered users who participated in the online polls, surveys and discussions. Out of the total users, 40%-50% are active. The selection of people who will attend the town hall event was made by choosing the people who have responded the most number of times on the MyGov website," said Gaurav Dwivedi, chief executive of MyGov.

Dwivedi said the selection of people attending the meeting was based on the ideas, level of engagement, questions and suggestions given by users of MyGov.

During the event, Modi is also expected to launch MyGov initiatives and distribute awards to winners of MyGov contests—Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat, Duties of a Citizen, Governance Quiz and India Africa Quiz.
