He also talked about the importance of balancing technology with human values, saying that progress is not complete without kindness and empathy. He encouraged the Sonowal Kachari community to work hard, improve their skills, and grow through education, culture, and sports.
He said there are no shortcuts to success, and every achievement comes through challenges and dedication. He urged women to take leadership roles in bringing positive change to society.
He also mentioned that millions of women in India have become financially independent, and their contribution is helping the nation grow. He called on women to continue playing a strong role in making India a developed country by 2047.
