Droupadi Murmu on Monday took oath as the 15th<\/sup> President of India. She was sworn in by Chief Justice NV Ramanna. Murmu is the first Adivasi woman to hold the post. The new President of India hails from Odisha and has served as Governor of Jharkhand.<\/p>\n

After taking oath, Murmu said that her election was not just her achievement but also that of the financially weaker sections of the country. \u201cMy election is proof that the poor in India can dream and make them come true,\u201d she said, adding that it was like a dream come true for her even to get elementary education. \u201cBut despite many obstacles, my resolve remained strong and I became the first daughter of my village to go to college,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Droupadi Murmu, a National Democratic Alliance candidate, defeated the Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha in the July 18 polls. Results were announced on July 21. She received 64.03 per cent of the total votes polled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
