- 2025 gave us many such moments that every Indian can take pride in.
- From the country’s security to the sports fields, from science laboratories to the world’s big stages, India left its strong mark everywhere.
- This year, ‘Operation Sindoor’ became a symbol of pride for every Indian. The world clearly saw that today’s Bharat does not compromise on its security. During ‘Operation Sindoor’, pictures of love and devotion towards Mother India emerged from every corner of the world… This same spirit was also witnessed when ‘Vande Mataram’ completed 150 years.
- 2025 was also a memorable year in terms of sports. Our Men’s Cricket team won the ICC Champions’ Trophy. The women’s cricket team won the World Cup for the first time. The daughters of Bharat created history by winning the women’s blind T20 World Cup. By winning several medals in world championships, para-athletes proved that no obstacle can stop determination.
- Bharat took giant leaps forward in the field of science and space too. Shubhanshu Shukla became the first Indian to reach the International Space Station. Several initiatives related to environmental protection and wildlife conservation also marked 2025. The number of cheetahs in Bharat has now crossed 30.
- Faith, culture, and Bharat’s unique heritage were all seen together in 2025. The organisation of Prayagraj Mahakumbh at the beginning of the year astonished the entire world. At the end of the year, the flag hoisting ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya filled every Indian with pride.
- People also showed great enthusiasm for indigenous products. People are buying only goods made with the hard work of an Indian. Today, we can proudly say that 2025 has given Bharat even greater self-confidence.
- Many young people ask me how they can give a presentation of their ideas to me? The solution to this curiosity of young minds is the ‘Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue’… On the 12th of next month, ‘National Youth Day’ will be celebrated on the occassion of Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. The ‘Young Leaders’ Dialogue’ will also be organised on that day, and I will definitely participate in it as well… I am looking forward to this event.
- Friends, efforts to stay connected with our roots are not limited to India alone. Indians living across the world are also playing their part. One such example takes us outside the country – to Dubai. Kannada families living there asked themselves an important question: our children are progressing in the tech world, but are they drifting away from their language? This thought gave birth to the ‘Kannada Pathashaale’- an initiative where children are taught to read, write, learn, and speak Kannada. Today, more than a thousand children are associated with it.
- We remember freedom fighter Parbati Giri Ji of Odisha, who joined the Quit India Movement at sixteen and later dedicated her life to social service and tribal welfare.
- Medicines need guidance and antibiotics must be taken only on a doctor’s advice.
