While addressing, MP Dr. C.N. Manjunath said, "that incomplete works and poor infrastructure are responsible for the spread of health problems like dengue and fever in urban areas.
 
He further said, "that the dengue health problem has increased in urban areas and is creating concern. The reason for that is incomplete projects, half-finished roads, flyovers, and underpasses. This problem has been created due to poor infrastructure and polluted water and filth standing everywhere. We should keep the area around us as clean as possible to avoid dengue problem. He said that mosquitoes should be controlled."
 
Success is neither magic nor mystery. It is the result of constant effort. There is a difference between success and contentment. Success is judged by others. We know satisfaction by ourselves. Thus, Dr. Manjunath said that today the achievers of various fields have got satisfaction along with success.
 
Dr. said, "that quality education and medical services should be available at an affordable price. Educating children today is extremely expensive. Providing affordable education is not just the job of the government. Today, 70% of medical education is provided by the private sector. Thus, the private sector should reserve 10% of the beds for the grassroots communities.
 
Living in big cities today invites major health problems. Traffic, air pollution, child rearing and commuting to work are becoming more of a problem. Good hospitals and educational institutions should be established in the near future. To be built in second tier cities. Otherwise, the problem will continue to increase. We should advise children to be healthy and cultured. There should be continuous efforts, loyalty, authenticity. There is no success without effort. Unemployment problem is huge in a country of 140 crore population. Machine learning, robotics should be used with caution. the Modi government has created 10.2 crore jobs in the last ten years," Dr. Manjunath said.
 
MP Jagdish Shettar congratulated the awardees, In the past decade, Padma Award has been given to deserving achievers in the country. Before 2014, those with pressure, profit and recommendation were getting the award. Now the deserving are getting it. No application, recommendations required. Modi government is awarding meritorious people. They used to come to MLAs and MPs recommending them for the award. In recent years no one comes asking for a recommendation. Jagdish Shettar said that Modi government is special.
 
Yoga has been widely introduced to the whole world by Prime Minister Modi. I too have been doing yoga for many years. So, I have no health problems including BP, sugar. Due to yoga, I ran continuously for 35 days during the elections.
 
P. K. Choudhary, CEO of Asia Today Media, expressed that the Pride of Nation Award were conceived with a clear vision: to create an event that celebrates exceptional achievements within the global Indian community. This vision aimed to establish one of the most prominent and distinctive events of its kind.
