Greetings and Best wishes on 62nd year of our Independence

On this day we pay homage to all those persons who fought for the independence. They sacrificed their lives. As a result we are enjoying being citizens of a free, sovereign nation.

It is a time for reflection. It is a time to look at the present. It is also time to plan for the future. … and the future is bright.

- ‘Bright’ you said? You must be joking!

Rishi Aurobindo prophesied what is penned beautifully in a song: ‘Bharat abar biswasabhai srestha asan labe ’(India will once again be the best in the world). In the new environment, when knowledge is central - India will emerge as a strong nation. It is not a wishful thinking, but an achievable reality.

the future belongs to India . Jai Hind.
