Extraordinary performance in GDP will continue in 2024, beyond, says President Murmu in R-Day address

India's GDP growth rate has remained the highest among major economies in recent years, and the country has all reasons to believe that this performance will continue in the year 2024 and beyond, said President Droupadi Murmu in her addresses to the nation on the eve of Republic Day."Our country is moving towards the century of Independence while passing through the initial phase of Amrit Kaal. This is a period of epochal change," President Murmu said in her address."Tomorrow is the day when we celebrate the commencement of the Constitution. Its Preamble begins with the words “We, the People of India”, highlighting the theme of the document, namely, democracy. In India, the democratic system is much older than the concept of Western democracy. That is the reason why India is called the “mother of democracy," she said.President Murmu also said "The nation is in the early years of Amrit Kaal. This is the time of transformation. We are given a golden opportunity to take the country to new heights. Contribution from every citizen will be crucial to achieve our goals.""I believe the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam will prove to be a revolutionary tool for women’s empowerment. It will also go a long way in improving the processes of ourgovernance," says President Droupadi Murmu in her address ahead of R-Day.On Ayodhya Ram Temple, President Murmu said "Earlier this week, we witnessed the historic 'Pran Pratishtha' of the idol of Lord Shri Ram in the glorious new temple constructed in Ayodhya. When this event is seen from a wider perspective, future historians will consider it a landmark in India’s continued re-discovery of its civilisational heritage.The construction of the temple commenced after the due judicial process and the decision of the highest court of the land. Now it stands as a grand edifice, giving a befitting expression not only of people’s faith but also as a testament to people’s enormous trust in the judicial process, she added.
