It was a deeply moving moment to stand beside Param Vir Chakra awardees Captain @banasinghpvc and Subedar Major Sanjay Kumar as the @navimumairport (NMIA) welcomed its very first passengers. In that moment, alongside the war heroes, stood the other quiet architects of the nation – the workers who built this airport with their bare hands and unbreakable spirit; the farmers and their families who feed India; the social workers who selflessly serve millions alongside the @AdaniFoundation; and our specially abled colleagues who inspire us every single day. For many of them, this was the first flight of their lives. Soldiers who protect Bharat. Workers who build Bharat. Farmers who sustain Bharat. Social workers who serve Bharat. The specially abled who inspire Bharat. @AdaniPriti and I were deeply honoured to stand with them at NMIA – a moment that captured what this airport truly represents – opportunity with dignity, and a rising India that moves forward without leaving anyone behind. Their blessings, their courage and their resilience drive us every single day to build bigger, serve better, and work harder in service of the nation. Jai Hind. 🙏

Warm birthday greetings to the legendary soldier, Honorary Captain Bana Singh Ji @banasinghpvc, recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military honor. The nation is very proud of your contributions. May you be blessed with a long, healthy and happy life.
