" India has an independent Judicial System that has delivered several important judgments and decisions that have significantly impacted our society. However, our judicial process can be prolonged and expensive at times. Consequently, a large section of society cannot benefit from a well-functioning judicial process. To achieve our goal of being a fair society by 2030, India must address this issue," said during his inaugural address.

Our technical agencies are collaborating on 104 projects in India in fields such as agriculture, solar, urban development, and mobility," said during her address.
