 Friends, over the past years, we have witnessed a lot of disruption in different sectors. Much of it is still there, yet disruption does not have the mean despair. Instead, we must keep the focus on the twin foundation of repair and prepare. This time last year, the world was still seeking a vaccine. Today, we have quite a few. Similarly, we have to continue repairing health infrastructure and our economies. We in India implemented huge reforms across sectors, be it mining, space, banking, atomic energy and more. This goes on to show that India as a nation is adaptable and agile, even in the middle of the pandemic. And when I say prepare, I mean insulating our planet against the next pandemic, ensuring we focus on sustainable lifestyle that stops ecological degradation, strengthening cooperation in furthering research as well as innovation.
