President Droupadi Murmu has called for embracing the timeless ideals of Ram Rajya to build a prosperous and united India. Speaking at the inauguration of the Ramayana Cultural Centre in Guwahati on March 24, 2026, she highlighted how Lord Rama’s principles of justice, equality, and good governance can guide modern nation-building. “Ram Rajya is not just a dream from mythology; it’s a blueprint for our future,” President Murmu said. She explained that Ram Rajya stands for dharma (righteousness), where every citizen lives with dignity, free from corruption and inequality. Drawing from the epic Ramayana, she noted Rama’s rule ensured prosperity for all, with no one going hungry or oppressed.
President Murmu linked these ideals to India’s progress under current initiatives. She praised schemes like PM Awas Yojana, which has built over 4 crore houses for the poor since 2014, and Ayushman Bharat, providing health coverage to 50 crore people. “These steps echo Ram Rajya’s focus on welfare,” she added. In Assam, she commended the state’s growth, with GSDP rising 12.5% in 2024-25, driven by infrastructure like the Bogibeel Bridge and new highways.
The President urged youth to adopt values like compassion and integrity for Viksit Bharat by 2047. Her speech resonated in the Northeast, a region rich in cultural ties to the Ramayana. Events like this centre will promote unity, she said, fostering tourism and education.
