Rashtrapati Bhavan is changing |
February 20 2023 |
Ever since the country’s new President Draupadi Murmu stepped into the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the atmosphere there has changed. For the officers and staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan, it is like a cool breeze, as unlike her predecessors, President Murmu has broken many declared myths as soon as he came. The staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan does not remember, if ever any President has sent Diwali sweets for them and their children at his or her own expense. Sources reveal that ‘the President’s expenditure on sweet boxes and gifts alone was about two to two and a half lakhs, which she himself bore.’ The staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan have become convinced of her simplicity, decency and ease of living. She also wakes up at three in the morning, then does an hour-long yoga and meditation routine, then leaves for her morning walk at four, which lasts about a quarter of an hour. Now only vegetarian food is cooked in the kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan without onion and garlic. The practice of non-vegetarian food has stopped. The kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan has also been asked to be closed by 10 pm. Earlier, the employees who went home after finishing duty late at night did not even get any traveling allowance, now they have started getting it. The President is well aware of the fact that the face of the new India is mostly formed by meeting the youth of the country, so in order to connect with the youth and understand their expectations properly, she is also using the social media platform ‘Facebook’ a lot. She takes time, makes short notes for her speeches, which are included in her main speech. If the top changes, surely its fragrance will be felt across the country. |
