Moral freedom is yet to be achieved’. There are many challenges before the country today. Decreasing agricultural and forest land, environmental imbalance, pollution, diseases, inflation, unemployment, etc. have made the life of the people in danger. We chose the path of strengthening the rural economy through the use of agricultural and forest products, traditional knowledge, modern means and strategies, respecting the ancestral teachings and the culture of the soil. I am proud that we have been able to work in accordance with Bapu’s principles and ideas in front of the country and the world on the occasion of 75th Independence anniversary.
