India has dared to go where no one has gone before

India has become the first country to hoist its flag on the southern pole of the moon. Such achievements are for the entire nation, and we must rise above our differences in politics.

MOTION OF THANKS ON THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Honorable President Droupadi Murmu ji for her motivational speech. Her words have shed light on the welfare schemes underway in our country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India has made significant progress in various sectors over the past decade, including the ideals of the Bhagavad Gita. The mantra of "Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas" epitomizes the policies of this government.

In spite of the biggest pandemic the world has seen in the last hundred years, leading to global economic problems, India has marched ahead. Recently, the IMF has courted India as the bright spot, with the Indian economy contributing about 16% of the world's economic growth. India has succeeded in maintaining a GDP growth rate of over 7.5% consistently for two quarters, showcasing its resilience and capability.

On the diplomatic front, by hosting the G20 summit, India has strengthened its position on the global stage and reaffirmed its commitment to cooperative efforts for world peace and prosperity, with a commitment to technological advancement and digital integration. The Indian government has rapidly implemented 5G technology, ensuring that every citizen can benefit from the digital age.
