 We are highly honoured Mr.T.S.PANCHAPAKESAN IPS that  is amongst us today. We are indeed grateful to you sir for graciously and readily accepting our invitation.  Let us welcome him by giving him a big round of applause. Sir, we are eagerly looking forward to hearing from you.
I also take this opportunity to salute the valiant personals of our armed and para-military forces who have scarified so much and who stand ready to safeguard the territorial integrity and honour of our mother land.
62 years ago, on this day India defined itself as a free sovereign republic egalitarian secular and democratic. On this 63rd celebration of republic day, let us all gratefully recall the sacrifices of millions of freedom fighters and unsung martyrs of an earlier generation who suffered and labored so that we are free and sovereign today.   For this we remember Gandhiji’s leadership with reverence and gratitude. Let us re dedicate ourselves today to Gandhiji’s ideals TRUTH & AHIMSA.
And this day, also for us the day of introspection, for no self improvement is possible without working at our own many shortcomings and failures that need to overcome.
India became free, almost 65 years have gone. Now we have emerged as one of the scientifically and technologically important nations of the world. In the field of information technology and bio-technology, we have made spectacular strides. In human development, we have achieved significant successes.
In this highly competitive world, this is not satiable. To achieve higher targets, we must be very careful about choosing our career.
Dr.A.P.J.Abdul kalam, the missile man of India had determined and chose his career at his younger age. In his autobiography he mentioned, I quote : “I often read Khalil Gibran, and always find his words full of wisdom. – “Bread baked without love is a bitter bread that feeds but half a man’s hunger” – those who cannot work without their hearts achieve but a hollow half hearted success that breeds bitterness all around. If you are a writer who would secretly prefer to be a lawyer or a doctor, your written words will feed but half the hunger of your readers; If you are a teacher who could rather be a businessman, your instructions will meet but half the need for knowledge of your students; If you are scientist who hates science, your performance will satisfy but half the needs of your mission.” I unquote.
I once again welcome you all with great pleasure and I feel you enjoy every aspects of this event great patriotism.
Thank You
Vande MAATHARAM
