On the Foundation Day of State of West Bengal on 20th June, 2024, I extend my warm greetings to the people of West Bengal residing in these Islands.
West Bengal, a land of unparalleled beauty and profound intellect, has been a nurturing ground for luminaries like Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Its rich cultural heritage, diverse folk traditions, and remarkable contributions to Bengali literature, music and sports makes it truly distinct. As we celebrate this day, reflecting upon the values of unity, inclusivity and diversity, let us continue to work collectively towards building a brighter and more prosperous future.
On this occasion, I wish happiness and continued strides towards prosperity of the people of West Bengal residing in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
