Speech by the President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil, at the Birla Orphan Village
I am happy to visit the Birla Children Village. I am glad that this institution is playing a great role in bringing up and providing sustenance for the future generation. Children are the future and we have to teach them values and how to be responsible individuals.
At the same time they teach us all, the qualities of enthusiasm, curiosity and simplicity. For these reasons, it is said that child is the father of mankind.
