The Story in Brief
President Droupadi Murmu, in her Independence Day eve address, said India has lifted more than 25 crore people out of poverty and is on track to become a developed nation by 2047. She highlighted the digital revolution, noting India accounts for over half the world's real-time digital transactions. The President also said 59 crore account holders are under the Jan Dhan Yojana, and around 3 crore women have benefited from the Lakhpati Didi initiative. On national security, Murmu praised Operation Sindoor and defended suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, saying terrorism will not go unanswered.
The Indian Opinion
Some will dismiss the 25-crore figure as a political number, but the digital payments and Jan Dhan data are independently verifiable. The real test is whether the Lakhpati Didi scheme creates lasting livelihoods, not just bank balances. Wait for the next NFHS survey for ground-level nutrition and income data.
