My Dear Citizens of India, On the eve of the 60th Independence Day, I extend to you all at home and abroad my greetings and best wishes for your happiness and prosperity. Our Nation will always cherish and be inspired by the contributions of our Freedom Fighters towards making India independent. On 9th August, I met many Freedom Fighters from all parts of the country and in their eyes I could still see the spirit of selfless sacrifice. There cannot be any other better living example for our youth to follow. On this occasion, we remember with gratitude the devoted and gallant services of our Armed Forces who are guarding our frontiers on the land, over the sea, and in the air; and our Paramilitary and Police Forces who are preserving our internal security and maintaining law and order.

Healthcare: have also come across a number of humanitarian missions giving free treatment to the poor, among them for example the Little Heart Foundation for children's heart ailments, Care Kidney Foundation for kidney ailments at Hyderabad and the Paterson Cancer Centre at Chennai for cancer treatment.
