I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to the people of these Islands, especially to my sisters and brothers of Kerala, on the auspicious occasion of Onam.

May this auspicious harvest festival, which underlines the importance of agriculture in our country, inspire us to work for the progress and prosperity of our Islands and our nation.

The celebration of Onam rekindles the splendid legacy of a life of equality, oneness and prosperity, filling minds and homes with the celestial joy of festivity.

In addition to its mythological importance, Onam is also celebrated to mark the harvest and bring memories of a past golden era.

May this joyous festival usher in a new era of peace, prosperity and happiness in our Islands.
