resources to prevent or mitigate
                                          crises, India is demonstrating its
                                          commitment as a responsible
                                          actor in the international order.
                                             India today is playing a
                                          much greater role in solving
                                          global challenges and shaping
                                          the rules, norms, and processes
                                          that guide these efforts. And this
                                          credibility stems a lot from what
                                          we have been able to achieve at
                                          home. For instance, the way India
                                          has used digital technologies
                                          for  development,    inclusion,
                                          governance,  ease  of doing
                                          business, and ease of living,
                                          has become a template for the
                                          world to follow. Be it innovation,
                                          technology,  entrepreneurship,
                                          space,     health,    women
                                          empowerment,     social   and
                                          financial inclusion, education, or
                                          disaster management, India is
                                          making strides in every realm.
                                             As the G20 President, India is
                                          advocating ‘One World’, in place
                                          of any 'first world' or 'third world'.
                                          In all the initiatives spearheaded
                                          by India, the idea of global
                                          good is deeply inherent. And
                                          this  guiding  philosophy  of
                                          ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ has
                                          led India to not just be the voice
                                          of the Global South but to also
                                          be a party to many multilateral
                                          alliances around the world. A
