World’s view towards India has changed: President Murmu in first Parliament address

NEW DELHI,JAN 31: President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday remarked that the biggest change that has happened today is that the confidence of every Indian is on top, adding that the world’s view towards India has changed.

The President in her first address to the joint sitting of Parliament as the Budget session began urged people to put in their best to build in the next 25 years a developed India connected to its past glory and containing every golden chapter of modernity.

She said ‘Amrit Kaal’, described by the government as the 25-year period culminating in the centenary of India’s independence, is the time to build an India which is ‘aatmanirbhar’ (self reliant) and also fulfils its humanitarian obligations.

Under the nearly nine years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, the country has seen many positive changes, she said, adding that the biggest change is that the self-confidence of every Indian is at its peak and the world has changed the way it looks at India.

While India used to depend on others to solve its problems, it is now working to solve global problems, Murmu, India’s first tribal president, said.

She cited the expansion of digital network and the crackdown on corruption during the Modi government’s tenure. “India now has a government which is stable, fearless and decisive and which works to fulfil big dreams. It has a government which respects honesty and works to solve the poor’s problems and empower them permanently,” she said.

“It will be an India with no poverty and a prosperous middle class and whose youth and women are at the vanguard of guiding the nation,” the President said.

Hailing the government’s various schemes for women, President Murmu said, “We are seeing the success of ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign; for the first time in India, the number of women is more than men: Prez Murmu.”
