I urge the nation to applaud their achievement today. They have not only won our hearts but also inspired future generations. He also added, during COVID-19, our doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, sanitation workers, scientists who were developing vaccines and crores of citizens who were working with a sense of service... all those who devoted every moment to serve others in this period, deserve our appreciation.
