President Droupadi Murmu in her message to the nation on the eve of Independence Day says, 

"Public examinations open the doors of opportunity for students. Therefore, the government is taking comprehensive steps to reform these examinations. 

The aim of these reforms is to completely curb the use of unfair means in public examinations and make the examination system more transparent, secure and trustworthy for young people. 

The government's efforts and new economic activities are creating many new opportunities for the youth. By learning about these opportunities, our young people can choose new paths to success."   

President Murmu also said:

“We are moving ahead towards building Viksit Bharat by the centenary year of our Independence in 2047. 

Guided by the spirit of Antyodaya, it is our resolve to ensure that the fruits of development reach every individual… 

The Ved-Vakya, ‘Vayam Rashtre Jagriyam,’ inspires us to always remain ready to serve the nation. 

"During our freedom struggle, people with diverse ideologies were united by one common goal – India’s Independence. 

During the Swadeshi Movement, the song Vande Mataram became a song of the masses. Countless Indians plunged themselves into our freedom struggle under the leadership of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. 

Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar embodied the highest ideals of social reform and patriotism. I humbly bow to all those great sons and daughters of Bharat Mata whose ideals guided our country to its freedom and its progress thereafter.”
