In a poignant ceremony held today, Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, paid a heartfelt tribute to the visionary leader and the country’s first President, Bharat Ratna Dr. Rajendra Prasad, on the occasion of his birth anniversary.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, born on December 3, 1884, played a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of India during its formative years. A key architect of the Indian Constitution, he served as the President of India from 1950 to 1962 and was honored with the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in the country, in 1962.
Nitin Gadkari emphasized the relevance of Dr. Prasad’s ideals in the contemporary context and encouraged the citizens to imbibe the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity that were championed by the first President of India.
“Dr. Rajendra Prasad’s legacy is not confined to the pages of history; it lives on in the values that he stood for. On this auspicious day, let us renew our commitment to building a strong, vibrant, and inclusive India,” Gadkari urged.
As the nation commemorates the birth anniversary of this eminent leader, Nitin Gadkari’s tribute serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of those who laid the foundation for India’s democratic journey.
