While inaugurating 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Srimad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupad, the president said the ultimate goal is the welfare of society.
Addressing a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament, Ram Nath Kovind also noted that India has emerged as a 'responsible global voice' on the issue of climate change.
The President, before concluding his trip to Dhaka, noted that the country is committed to assisting Bangladesh in its efforts to achieve strong economic growth.
President Kovind is expected to travel to Dhaka from 15-17 December. Shringla is on a two-day official visit to review the wide-ranging cooperation between India & Bangladesh.
Addressing a Constitution Day valedictory function, Kovind said in Indian tradition, judges are imagined as model of rectitude more akin to 'sthitpragya' (a person of steady wisdom).
In continuation of a tradition that started in 1950, Gen Sharma was conferred with the honorary rank. Sharma currently is on a 4-day visit to India to expand bilateral defence cooperation.
Presence of 4 women judges in SC is the highest ever, Kovind said. He added that these appointments have paved the way for a woman Chief Justice in the future.
Speaking at Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat district, the President also said people should make Yoga an essential part of daily life to fight the pandemic, and building a healthy society.
Aim is to ensure not just disengagement of troops, but overall de-escalation. Govt in favour of solving tensions through talks as it wants peace with all neighbours including China.
Like the car, nothing the party has done to reinvent itself has worked. Only way forward is to offer something looking towards the future, not in image of glorious past.
