The President noted that Maharashtra plays a vital role in India’s development through its strength in industry, agriculture, entrepreneurship, innovation, higher education, and deep-rooted cultural traditions. She emphasised that India’s progress must be holistic, ensuring growth that reaches every citizen.
She called for collective determination to build a stronger Maharashtra and a more prosperous India by learning from history while embracing modern technology, skill development, and innovation. Expressing confidence in the Brahma Kumaris’ initiative, President Murmu said the “Golden Era of Maharashtra Through Unity and Trust” campaign would encourage people to develop inner strength, leadership qualities, and a commitment to value-based development.
Speaking on the role of spirituality in public life, the President said that spiritual awareness strengthens human values and a sense of duty. Harmony, ethical conduct, positive thinking, and social responsibility, she said, are essential pillars of a healthy society. When these values become part of daily life, mutual trust naturally grows and strengthens social bonds.
President Murmu underlined that unity and trust form the foundation of a strong nation. She said that when trust flourishes, people rise above personal interests and work collectively for the greater good. Every citizen, she added, can actively contribute to nation-building by promoting equality, eliminating discrimination, and engaging in community service.
Concluding her address, the President stated that India would be truly developed only when everyone has equal opportunities to progress, technology becomes a tool for inclusive growth, and the benefits of development reach all sections of society. She appreciated the Brahma Kumaris for their efforts and expressed hope that such initiatives would continue to reinforce unity and trust across Maharashtra and the nation.
