The tableau belonging to DRDO also attracted everyone’s attention. It showed how woman power is protecting the country in every field – water, land, sky, cyber and space. India of the 21st century is thus moving ahead with the mantra of Women Led Development.
Further strengthen India as the mother of Democracy
In the beginning of his address he stated, “This year (2024) our Constitution is also attaining completion of 75 years… and the Supreme Court is also completing 75 years. These festivals of our democracy further strengthen India as the mother of Democracy. The Constitution of India has come into being after such intense brainstorming that it is called a living document. In part three of the original copy of this very Constitution, the fundamental rights of the citizens of India have been described and it is note-worthy that at the beginning of Part three, the makers of our Constitution had allotted due space to the pictures of Bhagwan Ram, Mata Sita and Lakshman ji.
‘Ram se Rashtra’
The rule of Prabhu Ram was also a source of inspiration for the makers of our Constitution and that is why on January 22 in Ayodhya, I had talked about ‘Dev se Desh’… I’d referred to ‘Ram se Rashtra’.”
Khelo India Youth Games
He added, just a few days ago, Khelo India Youth Games were inaugurated in Chennai. More than 5,000 athletes of the country are participating in this.
