I am delighted to welcome Your Excellency and the eminent members of your delegation.
It is indeed a privilege for me to be present here amidst you for the Foundation Day celebrations of the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital. I am also glad to have the opportunity to see so many young doctors, who have received their post-graduate (PG) degrees today.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is indeed a privilege for me to be amidst you today on the occasion of the inauguration of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Newspaper Society (INS). I offer you my warm felicitations. This is an important landmark for all of you, as indeed it is for all Indians. The Indian Newspaper Society has over the years met the challenges of time even as it has represented the most influential of India’s newspapers and periodicals.
