The government has taken many steps for the welfare of all sections, especially the backward classes. Poor people are getting the facilities of concrete houses, electricity, water, and roads. Medical services are being provided and quality infrastructure is being built on a large scale in the country. I appreciate the government for these efforts.'

Work is being done in the areas of creating harmony in society, ensuring the rights of women and the environment, etc. Our Constitution is a living and progressive document. We have achieved many goals of social justice through the Constitution. Our Constitution makers have given the message of strengthening international peace and security. Today, the country is economically strong as well as promoting the ideas of Vishwabhadu.'
Remembering the country's first President

Dr. Rajendra Prasad had said on this day that keeping the Constitution alive depends on those who run it. What is not written in the Constitution is run by traditions. Now, after three-fourths of the Constitution journey, the country has achieved remarkable success. The coming generations should be made aware of these successes.'
'I request all the countrymen to inculcate constitutional values in their conduct. Hearty congratulations on Constitution Day, Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.'
