In a heartwarming moment, President Droupadi Murmu was visibly moved on her 67th birthday as students from the National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities (NIEPVD) sang a special song to wish her.
The surprise performance took place during a felicitation event, where the visually-impaired children sang a soulful birthday tribute. As their voices filled the hall, President Murmu—known for her quiet strength and humility—was seen holding back tears, overwhelmed by the emotional gesture.
The President later expressed her gratitude, calling it “one of the most touching moments of her public life.” She added, “Their pure voices, their spirit, and their strength reflect the real soul of India.”
Social media was quick to respond, with the video clip of the children singing and President Murmu’s emotional reaction going viral—drawing praise for both the students and the dignified grace of India’s first tribal President.
