May this day inspire them further to contribute to the fulfilment of our nation's dreams," Shah posted on 'X'.
In another post on the social media platform, the Home Minister paid homage to one of the country's foremost civil engineers and visionaries, M Visvesvaraya, on his birth anniversary which is observed as Engineer's Day.
"I pay obeisance to the legendary engineer, Sir M Visvesvaraya Ji, on his birth anniversary.
