India Has Converted Challenges Into Opportunities: President Murmu
While addressing the nation on the eve of the 77th Independence Day, the President said that India has converted challenges into opportunities, and has recorded high GDP growth.
Murmu cited the country’s role as the G-20 leader. She touched upon the advancements in the fields of education and science pointing to the National Education Policy 2020, and the successful launch of Chandrayaan-3.
“As the G-20 represents two-thirds of the world population, this is a unique opportunity to help shape global discourse in the right direction. With the G-20 presidency, India can nudge decision-making in trade and finance towards equitable progress. Beyond trade and finance, matters of human development too are on the agenda,” Murmu said in her address.
“There are many global issues that concern all humanity and are not limited by geographical boundaries. I am confident that with India’s proven leadership in dealing with global issues, member-nations will be able to advance effective action on these fronts,” she added.
