Prime Minister Narendra Modi today stated that 2022 was the year when India attained the status of the world’s fifth-largest economy and made the record of surpassing 220 crore COVID vaccines. He highlighted that India crossed the magical exports figure of 400 billion dollars, and welcomed the first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. He expressed delight that Indian youth showed tremendous power in the field of sports, be it the Commonwealth Games, or the victory of the women’s hockey team. The Prime Minister lauded the strength, cooperation, and resolve of the people this year.
Prime Minister also mentioned that a Kalari club in Dubai has registered its name in the Guinness Book of World Records. This record is related to Kalaripayattu, the ancient martial art of India. He said this record is for the performance of Kalari by the maximum number of people simultaneously. Kalari club Dubai, together with Dubai Police, planned this and displayed it on the National Day of UAE. In this event, people ranging from four years old children to 60 years old showed their best Kalari ability. Prime Minister termed this as a wonderful example of how different generations are carrying forward an ancient tradition.
