On the auspicious occasion of the New Year 2026, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to the people of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
The New Year offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared journey, renew our collective resolve, and move forward with renewed hope and determination. I am confident that the year ahead will witness continued progress and development across our Islands, strengthened by unity, mutual cooperation, and a shared commitment to inclusive growth.
Together, we shall continue to work steadfastly towards realizing the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of a Viksit Bharat, ensuring sustainable development, improved governance, and enhanced quality of life for every Islander.
May the New Year 2026 bring good health, peace, prosperity, and happiness to all. Let us march ahead with optimism and dedication, contributing meaningfully to the continued advancement of our Islands.
Happy New Year 2026 to all of you!
