PRESIDENT OF INDIA GRACES THE STATE-LEVEL LAUNCH OF ‘GOLDEN ERA OF MAHARASHTRA THROUGH UNITY AND TRUST’

Droupadi Murmu graced the state-level launch of ‘Golden Era of Maharashtra through Unity and Trust’, organised by Brahma Kumaris at Vishwa Shanti Sarovar, Nagpur, Maharashtra yesterday (February 25, 2026).

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that Maharashtra has consistently set examples of social, economic, cultural, and spiritual development in the country. This sacred land has been the birthplace of great ideologies and ideals of nation-building that instilled a new consciousness in the people of India. The thoughts, struggles and contributions of great icons like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Vasudev Balwant Phadke, Maharishi Dhondo Karve, Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar have empowered our nation.

The President said that Maharashtra is consistently strengthening the developmental journey of India on the basis of its industry, agriculture, entrepreneurship, innovation, higher education and invaluable cultural traditions. Our goal is to move towards holistic development that benefits every citizen. We must work with determination to build a stronger and more prosperous Maharashtra and India by drawing inspiration from history and harnessing the power of modern technology, skill development and innovation. She expressed confidence that the initiative ‘Golden Era of Maharashtra through Unity and Trust’ of the Brahma Kumaris will inspire the people of Maharashtra to develop inner strength, and leadership spirit, and work for value-based development.

The President said that spirituality makes people aware of human values and duties. Harmony, ethical behaviour, positive thinking and social responsibility—all these together strengthen society. When such values become part of life, trust is naturally established in society. Mutual trust promotes positivity in society.

The President said that unity and trust are the foundations on which a strong nation stands. When mutual trust grows in society, people rise above personal gains and work together to achieve a common goal. Every citizen can effectively contribute to nation-building by promoting equality, eradicating discrimination and participating in community service.

The President said that India will be truly developed only when everyone has equal opportunities to grow, technology becomes a vehicle for development and the benefits of progress reach everyone. She appreciated Brahma Kumaris for this initiative and expressed confidence that their efforts strengthen unity and trust in society.
