During a recent event to unveil two new volumes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches, covering the period from June 2022 to May 2024, Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan highlighted the profound impact of the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India) vision. According to the Vice-President, this initiative has been instrumental in transforming India into a truly self-reliant nation across various crucial sectors, including defense, space, and electronics.
Mr. Radhakrishnan emphasized that a strong nation is built on more than just military or economic power; it thrives on character and unity. He further articulated that essential elements such as high-quality education delivered in one’s mother tongue, access to clean drinking water and sanitation, readily available healthcare services, robust poverty eradication programs, the pursuit of clean energy solutions, and proactive climate action are all powerful catalysts for positive change, enriching the lives of India’s 1.4 billion citizens.
The speech compilation volumes were meticulously put together by the Publications Division, operating under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Distinguished personalities present at the launch included Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vashnaw, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairperson Harivansh Narayan Singh, alongside other government officials.
