Noting that the historic 75th Republic Day was dedicated to Nari Shakti, Prime Minister Modi said the country showcased the progress made by India's daughters in all walks of life. He commended the cadets who were decorated on the occasion. He acknowledged the Cycle groups from Vadodara and Kashi and mentioned that he was a Member of Parliament from both places.
Prime Minister Modi said that today the world is witnessing the daughters of India proving their mettle in every field, be it land, sea, air or space. He highlighted the determination of the women participants of the Republic Day parade.
He said increasing the talent pool through women's participation marks the creation of a Viksit Bharat. “The whole world is looking at India as a 'Vishwa Mitra,'” Prime Minister Modi said, pointing to the increasing power of India's passport. “Many countries see opportunity in the talent and skills of India's youth,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined his vision for India's youth and highlighted their central role in shaping the country's future over the next 25 years. Prime Minister Modi highlighted the youth as the key beneficiaries of India's development journey and noted, “The biggest beneficiaries of this era are young individuals like you.” Underscoring the importance of continued hard work, he said: “It will be imperative for all of you to consistently strive for excellence.”
