promoting harmony, compassion, and ethical living, she commended their enduring impact on Indian society.
Later in the day, President Murmu is scheduled to engage with members of particularly vulnerable tribal groups in Gujarat, underlining her commitment to inclusive governance and social empowerment.
In a world grappling with discord and division, President Murmu’s call for spiritual introspection and cultural preservation resonates deeply, offering a timeless reminder of India’s enduring commitment to global harmony and human welfare.
