The future depends on what we do in the present Filed on January 26, 2021 On the occasion of the 72nd Republic Day of India, the Embassy of India in the UAE extends its warmest greetings to all members of the Indian community. The ongoing vaccination drive in India, UAE and many other countries across the globe presents a positive outlook into the future. Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The future depends on what we do in the present". While it is not possible to accurately predict the future, all of us can take steps in the current situation, so that we are better prepared for the future. As the Covid-19 pandemic situation continues across the world, we need to remind ourselves that our present actions will ensure a successful end to this phase of the virus. We are proud that many Indian nationals, as responsible members of the larger UAE community, not only participated as volunteers in the vaccine trials here but have also now become part of the 'Choose to Vaccinate' campaign in the UAE.
