As the holy occasion of Diwali is here and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of mirth and love, here’s hoping this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment, that stay with you through the days ahead.

New year has begun but our challenges are old. since India became independent in 1947, there has been steady progress on all fronts of human
and economic development. India has matured as the largest democracy in the world and also earned the reputation of being one of the fastest growing economies during last two decades. However, the country remains challenged with several pressing issues which includes maintaining good health for the second largest population in world.
