I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to all our citizens on the auspicious occasion of Ugadi, Gudi Padava, Chaitra Sukladi, Cheti Chand, Navreh and Sajibu Cheiraoba.

Known by different names in different parts of India, these festivals mark the beginning of our traditional New Year and usher in the same with a spirit of joy and togetherness across the country. These festivities, unique in form but one in essence, are yet another testament to the richness of our composite culture.

May the new year bring happiness, peace and prosperity to all.
