VP Naidu shared the contributions that these unsung heroes made towards building an independent India. He also shared the dreams and commitment that the government has towards building a 'New India'.

"As we commit ourselves to build a ‘New India’ and as we look forward to a glorious future, it is crucial to make the people aware, particularly the youngsters about the crucial role played by such unsung heroes. The respective states must publish tales of their valour and sacrifices in the history textbooks and take steps to keep their legacy alive. Only then will we be doing justice to their memory and build an India of their dreams – a truly Atma Nirbhar Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat and Sashakt Bharat," read VP Venkaiah Naidu's post on Independence Day 2020.
