"Having a strong, stable and energetic government at the centre of governance is essential for the unity and integrity of the country and for sustainable development," he added.

The Governor also praised the state government saying that in the last one year, the Rajasthan government has lived up to the expectations of the common man.

Bagade emphasized the importance of Republic Day as an occasion to remember the Constitution-makers who gifted the nation the world’s largest written Constitution, paving the way for nation-building.

"India is the largest democratic country in the world. We are proud of this. Our successful democratic system has inspired many countries of the world to follow the democratic path," he said.

Bagade said that in the last 75 years, there have been many difficult turns and serious challenges but the country has faced every crisis strongly.

"The Indian Constitution has always shown us the right path like a true guide. We have always stood the test of constitutional values and faced every challenge with full determination," he said.

The governor said that by following the path shown by the Constitution, India has set an amazing example of progress.

After the address, he awarded the President's police medal to Indian Police Service (IPS) officers Sachin Mittal and S Sengathir, along with other officers and personnel for their outstanding performance.
