Describing Parivar Bodh as the soul and creative force of Rashtra, he highlighted how this civilizational consciousness sustained Bharat’s unity through its extraordinary diversity, with Saints, Sages and poets preserving it amid centuries of foreign invasions and colonial attempts to weaken its foundations. Highlighting Bharat’s resurgence under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji, Governor Ravi underscored the renewed national self-confidence, Atmanirbharta, scientific and technological advancement and the resolve to safeguard national sovereignty. He emphasised that Bharat’s growing strength carries a larger responsibility towards humanity, rooted in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, and envisioned a strong, self-reliant, prosperous and compassionate Viksit Bharat by 2047. #LalBalPal #BipinChandraPal #RashtraBodh #GovernorRavi #LokBhavan
