As we celebrate the harvest festival of Baisakhi, I wish everyone happiness and Good Health. Baisakhi is also significant as it marks the founding of the Khalsa Panth community three hundred years ago by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Across the country, people celebrate the Baisakhi festival with a lot of fun, merriment and enthusiasm. I extend my best wishes to everyone on this auspicious occasion.
