Distinguished delegates, Esteemed scientists, Innovators, Astronauts, And, Friends from across the globe,

Namaskaar !

It is a great pleasure to connect with all of you at the Global Space Exploration Conference 2025. Space is not just a destination. It is a declaration of curiosity, courage, and collective progress. India’s space journey reflects this spirit. From launching a small rocket in 1963, to becoming the first nation to land near the South Pole of Moon, our journey has been remarkable. Our rockets carry more than payloads. They carry the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians. India’s achievements are significant scientific milestones. Beyond that, they are proof that the human spirit can defy gravity. India made history by reaching Mars on its first attempt in 2014. Chandrayaan-1 helped discover water on the Moon. Chandrayaan-2 gave us the highest-resolution images of the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 increased our understanding of the lunar South Pole. We built cryogenic engines in a record time. We launched 100 satellites in a single mission. We have launched over 400 satellites for 34 nations on our launch vehicles. This year, we docked two satellites in space, a major step forward.

Friends,

India’s space journey is not about racing others. It is about reaching higher together. Together, we share a common goal to explore space for the good of humanity. We launched a satellite for the South Asian nations. Now, the G20 Satellite Mission, announced during our Presidency, will be a gift to the Global South. We continue to march ahead with renewed confidence, pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. Our first human space-flight mission, ‘Gaganyaan’, highlights our nation’s rising aspirations. In coming weeks, an Indian astronaut will travel to space as part of a joint ISRO-NASA Mission to the International Space Station. By 2035, the Bharatiya Antariksha Station will open new frontiers in research and global cooperation. By 2040, an Indian’s footprints will be on the Moon. Mars and Venus are also on our radar.

Friends,

For India, space is about exploration as well as about empowerment. It empowers governance, enhances livelihoods, and inspires generations. From fishermen alerts to GatiShakti platform, from railway safety to weather forecasting, our satellites look out for the welfare of every Indian. We have opened our space sector to startups, entrepreneurs, and young minds. Today, India has over 250 space start-ups. They are contributing to cutting-edge advancements in satellite technology, Propulsion systems, imaging, and much more. And, you know, it is even more inspiring that many of our missions are being led by women scientists.

|

Friends,

India’s space vision is grounded in the ancient wisdom of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, that is, the world is one family. We strive not just for our own growth, but to enrich global knowledge, address common challenges, and inspire future generations. India stands for dreaming together, building together, and reaching for the stars together. Let us together write a new chapter in space exploration, guided by science and shared dreams for a better tomorrow. I wish you all a very pleasant and productive stay in India.

Thank you.

    राष्ट्रपति द्रौपदी मुर्मू द्वारा सुप्रीम कोर्ट से पूछे गए 14 प्रश्न के उत्तर में, सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सिर्फ पांचवां प्रश्न का उत्तर दिया, वह भी आधा अधूरा। पांचवां प्रश्न था, अगर संविधान में राज्यपाल के लिए कोई समयसीमा तय नहीं है, तो क्या अदालत कोई समय सीमा तय कर सकती है? इसके जवाब में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने उत्तर दिया है कि, " तीन महीने की समय सीमा केंद्र सरकार के गृह मंत्रालय (MHA) द्वारा 2016 में जारी दो कार्यालयी ज्ञापनों (Official Memoranda) पर आधारित थी। इन गाइडलाइंस में राष्ट्रपति के लिए विधेयकों पर निर्णय लेने की तीन महीने की समय सीमा निर्धारित की गई थी। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इन गाइडलाइंस को अपनाते हुए कहा कि यह समय सीमा राज्य विधेयकों पर देरी को रोकने के लिए आवश्यक है। अब सुप्रीम कोर्ट से, फिर से प्रश्न पूछा जाना चाहिए कि 1. क्या गृह मंत्रालय द्वारा जारी कार्यालयी विज्ञापन के दिशा निर्देश को सभी विभाग पर लागू कर दिया जाना चाहिए? 2. क्या गृह मंत्रालय के कार्यालयी विज्ञापन के "दिशा निर्देश" को "आवश्यक आदेश" में बदल देने का अधिकार सुप्रीम कोर्ट के पास है? 3. इस "आवश्यक आदेश" को जारी करने के लिए संविधान के किन किन प्रावधानों को ध्यान में रखा गया? 4. राष्ट्रपति महोदय के बचे हुए 13 प्रश्नों का जवाब देना क्यों आवश्यक नहीं समझा गया? 5. क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट राजनीतिक मामलों के प्रति अति सक्रियता नहीं दिखा रही है? 6. सुप्रीम कोर्ट में लंबित मुकदमों को शीघ्र निपटारे की क्या योजना है? 7. सुप्रीम कोर्ट एक वर्ष से पूर्व के सभी मुकदमों को कब तक निपटाएगी? 8. क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट आनेवाले मुकदमों को और लंबित मुकदमों को अपनी इच्छा , अपनी सुविधा और अपने उद्देश्यों को ध्यान में रखते हुए चुनाव करती है? 9. एक वर्ष में आनेवाले मुकदमों में से सुनवाई किए जाने वाले मुकदमों का औसत क्या है? 10. क्या सुप्रीम कोर्ट बेवजह के कार्यों में समय नष्ट करके, वास्तविक पीड़ितों को न्याय दिलाने में समय की कमी पैदा नहीं कर रही है? राष्ट्रपति महोदय को उपरोक्त प्रश्न, सुप्रीम कोर्ट से अवश्य ही पूछा जाना चाहिए। तभी सुप्रीम कोर्ट की राजनीतिक सक्रियता कम होगी और वास्तविक न्यायिक कार्यों पर सुप्रीम कोर्ट का ध्यान केंद्रित हो सकेगा।

    It was an honour to attend the Inauguration Mass of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, alongside Hon’ble Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha Shri Harivansh Ji. The ceremony was deeply moving, symbolising a message of peace, humility, and global solidarity. Representing India at such a historic and spiritual gathering was truly a privilege. We pray that Pope Leo XIV’s papacy ushers in a new era of compassion, dialogue, and unity among all people and nations. #Dy.CMYPattonofficialinsta.fbpost

Excellencies and Delegates,Namaste. Warm greetings to everyone at the 78th Session of the World Health Assembly.

Friends,

The theme of the World Health Assembly this year is ‘One World for Health’. It resonates with India’s vision for global health. When I addressed this gathering in 2023, I had spoken about ‘One Earth, One Health’. The future of a healthy world depends on inclusion, integrated vision and collaboration.

Friends,

Inclusion is at the core of India’s health reforms. We run Ayushman Bharat, the world’s largest health insurance scheme. It covers 580 million people and provides free treatment. This programme was recently extended to cover all Indians above the age of 70 years. We have a network of thousands of health and wellness centres. They screen and detect diseases such as cancer, diabetes and hypertension. Thousands of public pharmacies provide high-quality medicines at far less than the market price.

Friends,

Technology is an important catalyst to improve health outcomes. We have a digital platform to track vaccination of pregnant women and children. Millions of people have a unique digital health identity. It is helping us integrate benefits, insurance, records and information. With telemedicine, nobody is too far from a doctor. Our free telemedicine service has enabled over 340 million consultations.

Friends,

Due to our initiatives, there has been a heartening development. The Out-of-Pocket Expenditure as percentage of Total Health Expenditure has fallen significantly. At the same time, Government Health Expenditure has gone up considerably.

Friends,

The health of the world depends on how well we care for the most vulnerable. The Global South is particularly impacted by health challenges. India’s approach offers replicable, scalable and sustainable models. We would be happy to share our learnings and best practices with the world, especially the Global South.

Friends,

In June, the 11th International Day of Yoga is coming up. This year, the theme is ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’. Being from the nation which gave Yoga to the world, I invite all countries to participate.

Friends,

I congratulate the WHO and all member states on the successful negotiations of the INB treaty. It is a shared commitment to fight future pandemics with greater cooperation. While building a healthy planet, let us ensure that no one is left behind. Let me close with a timeless prayer from the Vedas. सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःखभाग्भवेत्॥ Thousands of years ago, our sages prayed that everyone should be healthy, happy and free from disease. May this vision unite the world.

Thank You!
