Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal has reiterated the constitutional values of equality, social harmony, and opportunities for all in a tribute to Bharat Ratna Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar’s legacy on Mahaparinirvan Diwas today. Addressing an event in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the minister emphasised that education remains the foundation for uplifting underprivileged sections and reminded students of their duties towards society and the nation. 

He said that politics needs committed individuals who are willing to work for the nation, uphold integrity in public life, and inspire the 140 crore citizens of the country to recognise their responsibilities and duties – first to their families, then to society, and ultimately to the nation. Mr Goyal urged universities to encourage students to understand public life and politics more deeply. He expressed confidence that if more well-meaning young boys and girls join public life, India would become a superpower faster than anyone can imagine. Mr Goyal encouraged the students to remain connected with their alma mater and extend appreciation to their mentors. 

Mr Goyal further expressed confidence in achieving the goal of India becoming a 35 trillion dollar economy from a 4 trillion dollar economy by 2047. He added that India is on course for a transformation from a two thousand five hundred dollar per capita income to a twenty thousand dollar per-capita income.
