In his message to the young gathering and students, he highlighted the importance of every voter in the country and stated, “as long as we all do our duties, we are all nation builders”.

India’s presidency for the G20 summit came at the right time when the voice of the nation can now be heard in the international arena. The idea of “One nation, one world” could be achieved if our nation follows the qualities given by our leaders namely “Vasudev Kutumbakam”.
