Addressing NSS volunteers and artists, Dhankhar lauded the stellar performance of the girls and female participants in the Republic Day parade.
He also expressed his happiness over the recent provision of one-third reservation for women in Parliament and State Legislature and termed it a historic step.
Stating that no one can reduce women’s rights today, Dhankhar stressed, “accept this guarantee and this guarantee will take the country far ahead.”
Praising the recently announced Padma Awards, the Vice-President said the people who have been selected for these awards never expected to receive it. “But they were discovered, their talent was recognized, and everyone appreciated it,” he said while referring to them as Gudri ke Lal (Jewels in Rags).
Calling youth as foot soldiers and architects of Bharat of 2047, Dhankhar exhorted the young volunteers present to be innovative and focus on research and entrepreneurship and be proud Indians and always keep the nation first.
