Addressing the gathering at the 43rd edition of the National Group Song Competition of Patriotic Songs, organised by the Bharat Vikas Parishad here, he said a strong and united country was built on a solid foundation of patriotic citizens.
"In order to keep the spirit of patriotism alive, it is necessary to continue to communicate it with the future generations," Kovind said.
He complimented the efforts of the Bharat Vikas Parishad in this regard.
Kovind congratulated the award winners and commended the half-a-million children who made the competition a virtual campaign by participating at various levels.
