Vice President of India Shri M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said he is confident that the country would prepare a detailed outline to build a "new India" by 2047, the 100th year of India's independence.

The VP was speaking here at the conclusion of the 25-day-long Dandi yatra, taken out from the Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat's Ahmedabad city by 81 participants as part of the 'Aazadi Ka Amrut Mohatsav' to mark 75 years of India's independence.

"From 1947 till now, we have walked on the footsteps shown by our freedom fighters, 'sabka saath sabka vikas' is our motto. We have achieved many things," "Ideas at 75, achievements at 75, actions at 75 and resolve at 75 should be our aim," Naidu said.

"I am confident that on this occasion, taking into account India at 2047, the completion of 100 years of our independence, we will prepare a detailed outline to make a new India in the next 25 years. We will work to achieve it also in the next 25 years," he added.

He also said the entire world today respects and recognises the strengths of India, thanks to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all the states, irrespective of political parties.

He said one often comes across watershed moments in history and Mahatma Gandhi's 'Salt March' was one such defining milestone, which stands out as an iconic movement of non-violence and civil disobedience against the British empire.
