Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary commended the President’s message of solidarity and vision for making India a developed country by 2047. “It’s a very good, positive message and a special occasion. The President gave us a message of solidarity, of taking the country forward and how we can make it a developed country by 2047. There’s a clear vision and a clear path that she laid down. Our democratic institutions are strong. We take pride in them. We have faith in them,” he said.
