On the foundation stone of the constitution adopted by us, the building of our democracy has been built. We created such institutions based on democracy, which strengthened the democratic functioning. For us, our constitution and our democracy are paramount.

Tribute on Partition Discrimination Memorial Day
Today we celebrated Partition Vibhishi Memor Day. Dreaded violence was observed due to partition and millions of people were forced to be displaced. Today we pay tribute to the people who have been victims of history mistakes. Our constitution mentions four such values which are four pillars that keep our democracy strong. These values are – justice, freedom, equality and fraternity. These are the principles of our civilization which we made alive again during the freedom struggle.

India is the fastest growing among the major economies of the world
The President said, India is the fastest growing country in the world’s major economies with a gross domestic product-growth rate of 6.5 percent in the last financial year. Despite the problems prevailing in the global economy, domestic demand is increasing rapidly. Inflation remains controlled. Export is increasing. All major indicators are reflecting the strong status of the economy. The government is running many welfare schemes for the poor. Those who have come above the poverty line but are not in a strong position, they also have security of such schemes so that they do not go down from the poverty line again.

Inaugurating railway contacts in the Kashmir Valley is a major achievement. Rail interaction of the valley with the rest of India will promote trade and tourism in that area and open the doors of new economic possibilities.

In this digital age, it is natural that the most progression in India has been in the information technology sector. 4G mobile connectivity is available in almost all villages. This facility will be delivered soon in the remaining few thousand villages. This has made it possible to adopt digital payment technology on a large scale. In the field of digital payment, India has become the leading country in the world, in a short time.

India-A mission will fulfill India’s specific needs
The government has started the India-A mission to strengthen the AI capabilities of the country. Under this mission, models will be developed which will meet India’s specific requirements. Last week, on August 7, ‘National Handloom Day’ was celebrated in the country. The purpose of celebrating this day is to respect our weavers and their products. During our freedom struggle, in memory of the Swadeshi movement launched in 1905, since 2015, this day is celebrated every year.

Swadeshi’s idea has been inspiring national efforts like ‘Make-in-India’ and ‘Self-reliant Bharat Abhiyan’. We all have to take a pledge that we will buy and use the products made in our country. India is on the path of becoming a developed economy by 2047, on the strength of overall economic development, on the strength of the efforts made in the social sector. I understand that in this era of Amrit period, in the national journey to move forward, all the countrymen will contribute the most.

Shubhanshu Shukla also praised
Draupadi Murmu said that the journey of Shubhanshu Shukla’s International Space Station has inspired an entire generation to have high dreams. This space journey will prove to be extremely helpful for India’s upcoming human space flight program ‘Gaganyaan’. Our daughters are our pride. They are moving forward by crossing obstructions in every field including immunity and security. Sports are considered an important indicator of excellence, empowerment and capabilities. The final match of the ‘FID Women’s World Cup’ for the World Chess Championship was played between a daughter of 19 -year -old India and a 38 -year -old Indian woman.

A large part of our society belongs to the people of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and other communities. People of these communities are now removing the tag to be marginalized. To realize their social and economic aspirations, through active efforts, the government has been helping them.

Majesty also mentioned the Pahalgam attack
Murmu said that this year we had to face the brunt of terrorism. The murder of innocent citizens who visited Kashmir was cowardly and absolutely inhuman. India answered this in a decisive manner with steely resolution. Operation Sindoor showed that when the question of security of the nation comes up, our armed forces prove to be fully capable of facing any situation. Operation vermilion, in the field of immunity, there was also an opportunity for the ‘self -sufficient Bharat Mission’ examination. Now it has been proved that we are on the right path. Our indigenous manufacturing has reached a decisive level where we have also become self-sufficient in fulfilling many of our security and facilities.

To face the challenge of climate change, we also have to make some changes in ourselves. We have to change our habits and our world vision. We have to change our relationship with our earth, rivers, mountains, trees and animals and animals.
