President`s address |
On the eve of Republic Day, in his address to the nation, President Ram Nath Kovind said a confident and forward-looking nation can only be built by confident and forward-looking young people. “Over 60 per cent of our fellow citizens are below the age of 35. It is in them that our hopes lie. Our aspiration must be to reform, upgrade and enlarge our education system – and to make it relevant to 21st century realities of the digital economy, genomics, robotics and automation,” he said. The President approved conferment of 85 Padma Awards — 3 Padma Vibhushan, 9 Padma Bhushan and 73 Padma Shri — India`s highest civilian awards. One individual from each of the ASEAN countries were named as a recipient as well.
