Former Prime Minister of India - Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee

PM greets people on Onam

~I extend my heartiest wishes to the countrymen particularly to my Malayalee brothers and sisters all over the world, on the auspicious occasion of Onam. Being a harvest festival, Onam brings with it splashes of colour. This year Onam has a special significance as after a gap of couple of years rain God has been generous all over the country and is bringing prosperity, joy and happiness. Farmers are rejoicing and the economy is in an upbeat mood. As we begin to harvest the well-earned fruits of our labour, we see the vision of a strong and self-sufficient India. Our farmers are key partners in the realisation of this vision.

The people of Kerala have shown tremendous entreprenureship and determination for hard work. They have made a mark wherever they are and have earned recognition in all walks of life all over the world.

May the Onam further strengthen our resolve to work for the common good~.
