President Pranab Mukherjee said cooperative spirit within the country will help it to become self-sufficient, self-dependent and self-reliant in all the fields.
He said the developmental objectives of the nation can be achieved with the efforts of both government and people’s organisations supplementing each other.
“Bengaluru is emerging as an education hub and the health hub of the rest of India. Thanks to the educationists, philanthropists and medical practitioners and scientists for making their city a centre of both education and health,” Mukherjee said.
“I have no doubt the way in which the people are developing the spirit of cooperation, the cooperative spirit will truly translate to convert our country to be self-sufficient, self-dependent and self-reliant in all the fields,” he added.
