Atishi pointed out, “The younger they start to work on their dreams for India, the faster they will achieve it.” She highlighted the significance of this moment, marked by India’s successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s south pole, showcasing the nation’s potential on the global stage.

women’s security. “If all the students gathered here today take a solemn pledge to drive the transformation of India, there is no doubt that they will achieve this goal by 2047,” she said.

Students echoed these sentiments with their dreams and hopes for India’s future.

I dream of seeing these issues completely removed from India by 2047.”
