On the auspicious occasion of 'Guru Nanak Birth Anniversary', I extend my heartiest greetings and warm wishes to all residents of A & N Islands.

This day is also celebrated as 'Guru Parv' and 'Prakash Utsav'. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru of Sikhism was a great philosopher and social reformer. His messages inspire all mankind to unite for equality, compassion and brotherhood. Let us follow his teaching and dedicate ourselves to selfless service to humanity and social justice without any kind of discrimination.

On this joyous occasion, I wish the festival would bring prosperity in the lives of every Islander and our Islands continue to march ahead on the path of development.
