The President Ram Nath Kovind on the eve of India's 71st Independence Day Addressed the nation where he spoke about various topics.
"Regardless of the caste or community, the bride became the daughter of not just a single family but of the entire village. Everybody living in the village looked after guests, and took charge of different arrangements," President said.
President Kovind said "Today, in big cities we may not even know our neighbours. Whether in cities or villages, it is important to renew that sense of caring and sharing. This will make us a gentler and happier society and help us understand each other with greater empathy,"
President Kovind said, "The government has started the Swachchh Bharat campaign, but it is for each of us to ensure a Swachchh Bharat and while the government is building toilets or helping build toilets, it is for each of us to use those toilets and make India open-defecation free."
