Prime Minister Narendra Modi today released the autobiography of former President Ram Nath Kovind, titled ‘Triumph of the Indian Republic: My Life, My Struggles’ in New Delhi. The autobiography offers a deeply personal account of Mr Kovind’s remarkable life journey, tracing his experiences, struggles and achievements from his early years to his distinguished public life and eventual service as the 14th President of India. The book provides insights into the values, experiences and circumstances that shaped his journey and public service.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Modi said that Ram Nath Kovind’s guidance as the President has been a great source of strength for him. He said that Mr Kovind’s autobiography will not only provide insights into his life, personality, and contributions but also serve as a legacy for Indian democracy and society. Prime Minister Modi said that even after retiring from the country’s highest constitutional office, Ram Nath Kovind has remained actively engaged and continues to work on important issues such as One Nation, One Election.
Prime Minister Modi urged the younger generation to learn about Ram Nath Kovind’s life journey in his own words and read about his writings and experiences. He said, great personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule dreamed of rebuilding India, an India where even the poorest and most deprived would have the opportunity to reach the highest positions. Mr Modi said that personalities like Ram Nath Kovind, through their hard work and capabilities, have not only transformed their own lives but have also played a significant role in turning those centuries-old dreams and visions into reality.
On the occasion, Ram Nath Kovind said that politics is not merely a means of acquiring power, but an instrument of serving the nation. He said, education opens the doors to countless possibilities and provides new directions and innumerable opportunities in life. Mr Kovind said that today, under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, crores of people have been provided with a roof over their heads.
