Dear India,

Happy Republic Day!

You have suffered a lot due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it was a year of sorrow, it was also one of opportunity, learning, and growth. The importance of health, productive use of online platforms, time with loved ones, and so on. I believe that empowering the youth and handing them opportunities as the future of the nation can help start afresh and rebuild the country.

I have penned my suggestions on how this can be achieved:

I feel all of this is possible with coordination at central, state, and ground levels. If anything, the pandemic has taught us the importance of togetherness.
