Prime Minister told them that India is an embodiment of collective strength of aspiration of its countrymen and said, “India means – many states – one nation, many communities – one emotion, many paths – one goal, many customs – one value, many languages – one expression and many colours-one tricolour and this common destination is ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshth Bharat’.”
भारत यानी कोटि-कोटि सामान्य जन के खून पसीने, आकांक्षाओं, अपेक्षा की सामूहिक शक्ति।
भारत यानी राज्य अनेक, राष्ट्र एक।
भारत यानी समाज अनेक, भाव एक।
भारत यानी पंथ अनेक, लक्ष्य एक।
भारत यानी भाषाएं अनेक, अभिव्यक्ति एक।
भारत यानी रंग अनेक, तिरंगा एक।

He appealed to the young guests from across the country to work for raising awareness of each other’s customs, cuisine, languages and art.
Prime Minister Modi said that ‘Ek Bharat-Shreshth Bharat’ will give strength to ‘local for vocal’ movement.
“When one region will feel pride for the product of the other region and will promote that, only then the local product will have national and global reach. Success of ‘vocal for local’ and Aatamnirbhar Abhiyan is dependent on our youth,” said PM Modi.
गणतंत्र दिवस की तैयारियों के दौरान आपने भी महसूस किया होगा कि हमारा देश कितनी विविधताओं से भरा है।
अनेकों भाषाएं, अनेकों बोलियां, अलग-अलग खान-पान कितना कुछ अलग है, लेकिन भारत एक है।

Prime Minister commended NCC and NSS for their contribution to the country in the hour of need, especially during coronavirus outbreak and asked them to take it forward in the next phase of the fight against the pandemic.
He asked them to come forward to help in the COVID-19 vaccination drive and use their reach in all the corners of the country and every part of the society to spread awareness about the vaccine.
“By making the vaccine, our scientists have fulfilled their duty, now it is our turn. We have to defeat every attempt to spread falsehood and rumour,” said PM Modi.
Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Arjun Munda, Kiren Rijuju and Renuka Singh Saruta were also present on the occasion.
This is to be noted that India will celebrate its 72nd Republic Day on January 26, the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950.
