World Economic Forum

President Ram Nath Kovind has exhorted that a civic-minded nation is built by civic-minded neighbourhoods where one can disagree with another viewpoint or even with a historical context – without mocking fellow citizen’s dignity and personal space.
He said the civic-minded people do not inconvenience their neighbours while celebrating a festival or resorting to a protest or on any other occasion.
The President said this shows fraternity in action.
In his address to the nation on the eve of Republic Day, Mr. Kovind called for elimination of the curse of poverty in the shortest possible time.
It is our sacred obligation to eliminate the curse of poverty in the shortest possible time. This is non-negotiable for the Republic.
Mr. Kovind stressed the need to further improve the lives of hardworking farmers.
The President said the country has made strides in spreading literacy and now it must expand the frontiers of education and of knowledge.
The President called for universal access to quality education and health-care, and to giving our daughters equal opportunity in every field.
Mr. Kovind said, a happy and equal-opportunity nation is built by happy and equal-opportunity families, where girls have the same rights and the same access to education and health-care as boys.
A young country like India can do it.
Mr Kovind said, the schooling system in the country has to encourage children to think and to tinker, not just to memorise and reproduce.
He said India has made strides in tackling hunger, but the challenge of malnutrition and of bringing the right micronutrients to the plate of every child is still there.
