Dear soldiers,
You are the true heroes of India. This Republic Day, I owe you all my sincere gratitude. In the ever-changing landscape of our country, you have given us lessons of true leadership every minute, every hour and every season. You have made me hold myself high with the values of service to our motherland.
As an academician, I feel that you have truly contributed to my andragogy on the field of education – in the courses of organisational behaviour, human resources management and many more. You have added depth and magnitude to the meaning of words like self-motivation, inspiration, attitude, sacrifice, character and punctuality. You have a tough and healthy mindset and fitness to serve on all terrains, and rise against all odds.
