Highlighting President Droupadi Murmu’s inspiring journey from a remote tribal village in Odisha to becoming India’s first citizen, Mr. Naidu called her story an example of perseverance and determination.
“She (Ms. Murmu) started as a teacher and discharged her duties as a Professor, councillor, Minister, Governor, and now President of India. Her journey proves that hard work can lead anyone to greatness,” Mr. Naidu said.

Recalling the foundation stone laid in 2018 under his leadership, he expressed satisfaction at AIIMS Mangalagiri’s growth into a prominent institution built at a cost of ₹1,618 crore. He lauded the facility’s affordable healthcare initiative of providing quality treatment for just ₹10.
