  • This framework integrates personal responsibility, traditional values, environmental sustainability, cultural pride, unity, and self-reliance to shape a stronger and more resilient nation.
  • The 5 principles are:
    • Social Harmony: Strengthens national unity by transforming India’s diverse cultures and traditions into sources of collective strength.
    • Family Enlightenment: Emphasizes the role of families in nurturing patriotic and moral values, forming the foundation for a cohesive and enlightened society.
    • Environmental Consciousness: Advocates for sustainable development through the conservation and protection of natural resources.
    • Swadeshi: Promotes self-reliance and prioritization of indigenous products as part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
    • Civic Duties: Encourages citizens to actively contribute to the nation’s progress by fulfilling their civic responsibilities.
