Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has participated in the Independence day celebrations as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, held at Indira Gandhi Stadium in Vijayawada on Monday.
CM Jagan hoisted the national flag and received the traditional guard of honor from the inter-services units and the police. Tableaux of several departments representing the welfare programmes issued and carried out by the Andhra Pradesh Government were displayed as part of the celebrations.
On this occasion, CM Jagan said India had become a top country in the field of food, and medicine.

He said that standing third in the world in the pharma field is proof of the country's strength. After independence, we faced many challenges like a lack of food grains. However, at present, we have grown to the level of exporting to 150 countries.
