In the spirit of Nationalism, the VP said, “The foundation of our national transformation rests on five powerful pillars namely Social harmony, Family Enlightenment, Environmental Consciousness, Swadeshi and Civic duties. These five resolves—our PanchPran—flow through the veins of our society, fostering an invincible spirit of nationalism. They lead us on a journey that unites personal responsibility, traditional values, and environmental consciousness with cultural pride, unity, and self-reliance”, he remarked.
The Vice President described the cadets as architects of India’s glory towards 2047. “Your generation will architect India’s glory. We are living at a time when national optimism prevails as we approach becoming the world’s third largest global economy. Youth opportunities expand as global institutions hail Bharat as their favourite prime investment destination.”
VP Dhankhar concluded by saying, “This has been achieved through overall growth mechanism in infrastructure, in technology and in making available an ecosystem where every young mind has the opportunity to exploit his and her potential and talent. The governance has taken much needed initiatives and policy decisions. And now there is transformation from discriminatory to merit-based mechanisms all over.”
