Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday gave a call for "Sabka Prayas" (everyone's efforts) along with "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas" for building a self-reliant India.
Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the occasion of 75th Independence Day, PM Modi said, "We have to ensure we meet our goal of building Aatmanirbhar Bharat when we celebrate 100 years of India's Independence."
He said that "Sabka Saath - Sabka Vikas - Sabka Vishwas" and everyone's efforts are very important in achieving "all our goals".
The Prime Minister paid tribute to all the past leaders who fought the long and hard battle for Independence, saying, "Be it Nehru ji, the first Prime Minister of India, Sardar Patel, who turned the country into a united nation or Babasaheb Ambedkar, who showed India the way to the future, the country is remembering every such personality, the country is indebted to all of them".
Mentioning the ongoing battle against Covid, PM Modi said, "54 crore people have got vaccine doses. The way India gave free food to 80 crore poor people is noteworthy... It is true that we don't have the infrastructure like nations. Despite all the efforts, we have not been able to save many people. Many children lost their parents".
Early this morning, PM Modi greeted the people expressing hope that the year of "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" will infuse new energy in the country.
The country is celebrating 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', marking the 75th year of Independence, amid patriotic fervour. A series of events are being organised across the country to mark the occasion.
