New Delhi, July 26 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi applauded astrophysicist Dr Ronaldo Laishram for his work in the field of science and for honouring his homeland, Manipur, in an interesting way.

In the 136th episode of Mann Ki Baat on Sunday (July 26), PM Modi introduced Laishram, saying, "I will now tell you about a person who will make you feel very proud.
