There are divergent strands in public discourse; we may argue, we may agree or we may not agree #PresidentMukherjee

But we cannot deny the essential prevalence of multiplicity of opinion #PresidentMukherjee

Otherwise, a fundamental character of our thought process will wither away #PresidentMukherjee

The capacity for compassion and empathy is the true foundation of our civilization #PresidentMukherjee

We must free our public discourse from all forms of violence, physical as well as verbal #PresidentMukherjee

Only a non-violent society can ensure the participation of all sections of the people in the democratic process #PresidentMukherjee

Power of non-violence has to be resurrected to build a compassionate and caring society #PresidentMukherjee

As I had said on assuming Office of the President, education is the alchemy that can take India to its next golden age #PresidentMukherjee

A reordering of society is possible through the transformative power of education #PresidentMukherjee

Our universities should not be a place for rote-memorizing but an assembly of inquisitive minds #PresidentMukherjee

Creative thinking, innovation and scientific temper have to be promoted in our institutions of higher learning #PresidentMukherjee

For us, creation of an inclusive society has to be an article of faith #PresidentMukherjee

We must empower the poorest of the poor and ensure that the fruits of our policies reach the last person in the line #PresidentMukherjee

Eradication of poverty would provide a strong boost to happiness #PresidentMukherjee

Social inclusion would ensure access to the fruits of progress to all #PresidentMukherjee

During my five years in Rashtrapati Bhavan, we tried to build a humane and happy township #PresidentMukherjee

We extended our experience to a few villages in the neighbourhood #PresidentMukherjee

When I speak to you tomorrow, it will be as a citizen– a pilgrim like all of you in India’s onward march towards glory #PresidentMukherjee

#PresidentMukherjee received books & reports related to Rashtrapati Bhavan today at Rashtrapati Bhavan

Thank you for your affection & support ; tomorrow when I engage with you it will not be as President but as a citizen #PresidentMukherjee
