Speaking at the valedictory session of the three-day Pravasi Bharatiya Convention here on Friday, President Murmu said: “Our nation today is marching towards Viksit Bharat – a developed India – by the year 2047.

Their global presence gives them a unique perspective, and their achievements place them in a position to significantly contribute to the realization of a developed India.”

President Murmu said that the Indian diaspora has made a mark in the fields of technology, medicine, arts, or entrepreneurship, which the world acknowledges and respects.
She expressed happiness over the fact that the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention has turned into a platform where ideas converge, collaborations are forged, and the bonds between India and its diaspora are strengthened.
Referring to India’s timeless philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the President said that this vision is about creating an ecosystem that not only meets our needs, but also contributes to global well-being.
President Murmu said that India seeks to be a nation that balances economic progress with social justice and environmental stewardship, ensuring a bright future for generations to come.
She stated that the Indian Diaspora would play an essential role in achieving this vision.
“We celebrate the achievements of our Pravasi Bharatiya family. We should also look forward to the future with hope and determination. Together, we can build a Viksit Bharat, a nation that stands tall on the global stage and continues to be a beacon of light for the world,” said President Murmu.
