Today we celebrate
the 73rd Independence Day of our great Nation. On this joyous occasion I
convey my greetings and good wishes to all and pray for their peace, progress
and prosperity. Today, India is looked upon as the largest and most vibrant
democracy in the world. In recent years India has been well known the
world over for its achievements in several fields, particularly in the arena of
Information Technology. The greatest achievement of this country is
that in spite of its vast diversity and a population of 1/6 of entire humanity,
the country has continued to remain intact and strong even after over seven
decades of independence. A great challenge to be faced by India in the near
future is shortage of food. India being predominantly agriculture based
economy, and with a vast population of

over a billion people has to be self
sufficient in terms of food production to feed its people. Thanks to its great
farming community, ever since Independence India has been largely self
sufficient in terms of food crops and has always grown crops much beyond its
needs.India has always had a vision and a message for the
world. From the very beginning of our civilization we have believed that the
world is one and humanity is a single family. India is committed to establish
ties of friendship and co-operation with all countries. India's engagement with
the world is intensifying both in the economic and political fields. India is a
country that has, and is, contributing to regional and global peace and stability”.
