I am happy to learn that 16th November is being observed as the “National Press Day” in the Islands along with rest of the country.
National Press Day symbolizes and celebrates a free and responsible Press in India. Media has become an essential component of our life and encompasses the entire spectrum with news, education, entertainment and information, covering all activities.
On this occasion, I convey my best wishes to the press and media fraternity. I also call upon them to contribute towards the development of our Islands and towards the well being of the residents of A&N Islands. I am confident that media will play a constructive role in Nation building, as always.
