PRESIDENT Droupadi Murmu on Friday said the pace of work has tripled in the third term of her government and the nation is witnessing major decisions and policies being implemented at an extraordinary speed, with the highest priority given to the poor, middle class, youth, women, and farmers.

Addressing both the Houses of Parliament on the first day of the Budget session, the President said, "My government is infusing new energy through unprecedented achievements in this Amrit Kaal of India's development journey. The pace of work has tripled in this third term."

She said the government has worked with strong determination to lift the economy out of the state of "policy paralysis," despite global concerns, such as the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and war-related uncertainties.

In her nearly 60-minute address, the President said the government is moving fast to become the world's third largest economy.
