Speaking at the function, the Prime Minister paid tribute to all the leading personalities in the journey of the newspaper and said that the paper was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and was born to strengthen India’s freedom struggle.
Prime Minister said that people of this generation did not get an opportunity to sacrifice their lives during the freedom struggle, but this Amrit Kaal gives us the opportunity to work towards a strong, developed, and inclusive India.
The Prime Minister said, the media has played a very encouraging role in popularising Yoga, fitness, and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.
The Prime Minister suggested media can amplify the efforts of highlighting the lesser-known events of the freedom struggle and unsung freedom fighters and places associated with the struggle.
Exhorting Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the Prime Minister said, Powered by India’s talented youth, our nation is moving towards Aatmanirbharta or self-reliance.
Prime Minister said, the core of this principle is to make India an economic powerhouse that caters to domestic and global needs.
