Five Years Ago, When I Was Elected, I Had The Feeling That The President Doesn't Have Much To Do. I've Realized, Though, That This Is Not A Rubber-stamp Position.

I Believe Economic Growth Should Translate Into The Happiness And Progress Of All. Along With It, There Should Be Development Of Art And Culture, Literature And Education, Science And Technology. We Have To See How To Harness The Many Resources Of India For Achieving Common Good And For Inclusive Growth.

Financial Institutions, The Corporate World And Civil Society - All Must Uphold High Standards Of Probity In Their Working. Only A Genuine Partnership Between The Government And Its People Can Bring About Positive Change To Create A Just Society.

Our Foremost Priority Is The Removal Of Poverty, Hunger And Malnutrition, Disease And Illiteracy. All Social Welfare Programmes Must Be Implemented Efficiently. Agencies Involved In The Delivery Of Services Should Have A Strong Sense Of Duty And Work In A Transparent, Corruption-free, Time-bound And Accountable Manner.

This Post Of President Is A Constitutional Post. It Is The Duty Of Everyone, All Citizens To See That They Respect The Post... The Institution Of President.
