Hailing the exceptional nature of the nation’s human resources, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar expressed his delight on Friday, saying Indians are now widely recognized.

“The outstanding quality of our human genius, innovative spirit and unparalleled perseverance is now recognized around the world.

Referring to the central role Indians play in the success of renowned multinationals such as Google, Microsoft, Twitter, IBM, MasterCard and Starbucks, he stressed that the outstanding quality of our human genius and innovative spirit is now recognized around the world.

After congratulating the winners at an awards ceremony in New Delhi today, the Vice President told a gathering that since ancient times India has produced outstanding luminaries in the fields of mathematics, science, astronomy, philosophy and linguistics.

He noted that the improvements in the governance framework and other catalytic initiatives in recent years have created an enabling environment to nurture and develop the inherent latent talent in various remote corners of our country.

Noting that many of the changemakers honored today come from ordinary backgrounds, he wanted such extraordinary human resources to be recognized and showcased. “It should be our common endeavor as an ambitious nation to quickly recognize and wisely utilize the potential of these extraordinary personalities,” he added.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, noting on August 28 the dynamic leadership of UNGA President and Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, praised his work to revitalize the UN, adding that his visit to India highlighted the diverse ties with the UN Nations will continue to strengthen Maldives.
