NEW DELHI: Addressing the joint sitting of Parliament, President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday said her government is working to create an environment to enable youth of the country dream big and achieve them. As she mentioned steps taken by the government on the education front, some opposition members were heard shouting 'NEET.'
Here are her key quotes:

A very good outcome has emerged from Jammu and Kashmir in this election. Voting records of decades have been broken. In the last four decades, we only saw low voter turnout in Kashmir amid strikes and shutdowns. Enemies of India used to project it as the opinion of Jammu and Kashmir on the global stage. This time, the people of Jammu and Kashmir gave a befitting reply to such forces.
The world can see Indians have for the third time formed a government with a stable and full mandate. This has happened after six decades. People have shown trust in my government for the third time. People of India are confident that only my government can fulfil their aspirations. This is a stamp of approval for the mission of service and good governance that my government has run for the last 10 years.
If due to any reason there is obstruction in examinations it is not appropriate. Sanctity, transparency are a must in government recruitments and examinations. The government is committed to conduct fair investigation and ensure the most stringent punishment to those guilty in the recent incidents of paper leak.
The budget will have major economic and social decisions and many historic steps will be taken. The speed of reforms will be increased to fulfill the aspirations of people. This is in the spirit of competitive-cooperative federalism.
India has become the world's fifth-largest economy. There has been an average 8 percent growth in the last 10 years, even though these were not normal times. This growth rate has been achieved despite a global pandemic and conflicts in different parts of the world. This is the result of the reforms of the last 10 years. India alone is contributing 15 percent to global growth. My government is working to make India the world's third-largest economy.
