President Droupadi Murmu has asserted that the grand edifice of a developed India will stand on four strong pillars of youth power, women power, farmers and the poor. She said their situation and dreams are similar in every part and every section of society in the country and her government has spent a significant portion of the tax revenues to empower these pillars. Addressing the joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament today, she said, India has seen completion of many such works in national interest in the last ten years for which people were waiting for decades. The President highlighted the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya saying people were hopeful for it for centuries and that dream has been fulfilled now. She also listed the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, banning triple talaq and other measures taken by the government in the last ten years. President Murmu said the achievements that people are seeing today are the extension of the practices of the last ten years. She added that people were hearing the slogan of ‘Garibi Hatao’ for a long time and today, for the first time the country is witnessing that poverty is being alleviated on a large scale. She informed that in the last one decade about 25 crore countrymen have been lifted out of poverty which is something that instills great confidence among the poor.
The President also observed that the last year was full of accomplishments for India as the country became the fastest-growing economy as well as the first nation to reach the south pole of the Moon. She added that the successful G20 Summit hosted by India strengthened the role of the country in the world. The President said, India got its first Namo Bharat train and the first Amrit Bharat train last year and it became the country with the fastest 5G rollout in the world.
