In his Independence Day address, the Prime Minister asked the citizens to work towards realising the dream of Viksit Bharat. “The whole country is moving forward with a new resolve. When we (the country) pledge to become Viksit, the world also watches us. The Prime Minister urged citizens to dream big and work towards making those dreams a reality. We must dream big, for big dreams expand our thinking and broaden the horizons of our vision.

Speaking to reporters in Delhi, CJI Surya Kant said, “Happy Independence Day. When the world’s most populous country takes the resolution to become a developed nation, it becomes an introduction of our courage, and the world is compelled to look at us with a different perspective,” PM Modi said in his address to the nation on 80th Independence Day. Our resolve must be steadfast; when our resolve is firm, the capacity to carve a path forward – even amidst difficulties and disasters – naturally emerges,” he said. Celebrating the recitation of the full rendition of ‘Vande Mataram’ at Red Fort for the first time since Independence, PM Modi said this was a “historic moment” for the country.
