President’s address on Republic Day eve


Word Cloud of President's Address
Above is the word cloud of President’s address to nation on the eve of Republic Day. Apart from a high frequency of India and nation, words like ‘development’, ‘growth’, ‘welfare’, ‘financial’ and ‘economic’ shows how much importance is being laid on the economic growth of the country and it also reflect the recent global recession. Internal security is still the issue for India with words like ‘security’, ‘terrorists’ and ‘terrorism’ appearing in quite a decent frequency.
But words like ‘technology’, ‘R&D’, ‘green energy’, ‘education’ etc. which are engine to sustainable development are still missing. This however doesn’t reflect that our government is working on sound principles. Complete ignorance of words like ‘jobs’, ‘poverty’ and ‘MDGs’ also implies a not so solid foundation'.
If we compare it with the address US president Barack Obama on the same day to US congress we will find a contrasting difference in the priorities and ideals, both the nations are going on.
