President Droupadi Murmu on Friday turned emotional while visiting her birthplace Uparbeda village in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district and said she has never felt the village as a place but a family.

Murmu, who was born in a Santali family of Uparbeda village under Bamanghati sub-division on June 20, 1958, for the first time came to her village and her ancestral house after assuming the country's topmost Constitutional post.
