On the auspicious occasion of ‘Onam’, I extend my warm wishes to all the residents of A&N Islands.

The festival of bountiful harvest - ‘Onam’, symbolizing prosperity and agricultural wealth is celebrated across India and in these Islands with zeal and spirit of enthusiasm, religious harmony and brotherhood.

On this joyous occasion, I wish that the festival of ‘Onam’ brings prosperity and happiness in the life of every Islander, and our beautiful Islands progress ahead continuously on the path of prosperity.
