As India celebrates Republic Day this year, marking 75 years of the Constitution, President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the nation serves as a poignant reminder of the nation’s journey from colonial subjugation to an emerging global powerhouse. With profound pride and optimism, she reflected on the transformative strides India has made, while reinforcing the foundational principles that the Constitution has provided to guide the nation’s progress. A key takeaway from President Murmu’s address is the emphasis on India’s unprecedented economic transformation. The nation has progressed from poverty and deprivation to a leading global economy, where its economic growth is making an impact in international forums. Thanks to policies and initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and the Atal Pension Yojana, India is progressing towards financial inclusion and ensuring that even the marginalized communities benefit from the country’s prosperity.
In addition to the economic and social advancements, President Murmu also highlighted the importance of technological progress and its application in the day-to-day lives of citizens. From digital payments to a robust public infrastructure, the integration of technology in governance has brought about unprecedented transparency and efficiency. India’s space achievements, including ISRO’s successful space docking experiment, reflect the nation’s growing confidence in cutting-edge scientific research.
Yet, the journey towards becoming a developed nation is far from over. President Murmu’s call to the people to uphold the moral values that have defined India for centuries—a call to action for every citizen—reminds us of our shared responsibility. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, rights and duties are two sides of the same coin. Each citizen must contribute to India’s sustainable and inclusive future, especially in the face of pressing global challenges like climate change. As we commemorate the 75th year of our Constitution, it is a time to reflect on how far we have come, and, more importantly, how far we can go. With the collective efforts of every citizen, India’s dream of becoming a developed nation by 2047, the centenary of our independence, is within reach. Let us be inspired by the words of our President to work towards a brighter, more inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
