The President of India Draupadi Murmu addressed the nation on the eve of the Republic Day of India. This was the first address of President Murmu on the occasion of Republic Day.

Key points of the address:

- We are all one, and we are all Indians. So many creeds and so many languages have not divided us but united us. That's why we have succeeded as a democratic republic. This is the essence of India.

- We can feel proud of our achievements in the field of science and technology. In the field of space technology, India has been one of the few leading countries.

India has moved from being a poor and illiterate nation to a confident nation on the world stage. This progress would not have been possible without the guidance from the collective wisdom of the framers of the Constitution.

Last year India became the fifth largest economy in the world. This achievement has been achieved against a global backdrop of economic uncertainty. With the help of able leadership and effective struggle, we soon came out of the recession, and resumed our journey of development.

Women empowerment and equality between men and women are no more mere slogans. I have no doubt in my mind that women will make the maximum contribution in shaping the India of tomorrow.

People from tribal communities can teach in many areas, from protecting the environment to making society more cohesive.

This year India is presiding over the group of G-20 countries. In line with our ideal of universal brotherhood, we stand for peace and prosperity for all. The chairmanship of the G-20 gives India a very important role in contributing to building a better world.

I appreciate the roles of farmers, labourers, scientists and engineers whose collective strength enables our country to move forward in the spirit of "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan, Jai Anusandhan".

I appreciate each and every citizen who has contributed towards the progress of the country.

I especially appreciate the brave soldiers who guard our borders and are always ready for any sacrifice and sacrifice. I also appreciate the brave soldiers of all the para-military forces and police forces who provide internal security to the countrymen.

I heartily bless all the lovely children for their bright future.
