 Namaskaram, my greetings and blessings to the people of Puducherry. When you live in a small state like this, a small entity, you must become the leaders of change and transformation because small spaces are easier to change, larger spaces have many more complications. So, I beseech all of you that Puducherry should become a model state in many ways. In terms of external well-being, in terms of cleanliness that we are aspiring for this nation, in terms of orderliness that we are looking for in our traffic and administration and above all within ourselves, what kind of human beings we are because this is the USP of this nation. Smaller states, smaller entities of administration should first manifest this as an example as a model for the larger states in the country. Somebody has to take the lead. I believe that smaller entities like this can set the pace and set the way and be a true example for the larger nation. As a nation, we have existed for thousands of years, we have done incredible things and we have done terrible things to ourselves and we have allowed other people to do terrible things to us. It is time that every one of us understand this is our country, this is our land, this is our culture. It is for us to preserve, to transform and to make it prosper both externally and internally. We do not have to copy anything from anybody in the world because we have a samskriti of ten to fifteen thousand years. We have existed as a loose nation. Though politically we might not have been a nation, culturally we have been a nation. So we have learned how to live together. We have learned how to exist with a phenomenal sense of diversity. It is time that Puducherry sets an example and leads the way. This is my wish and my blessing. Thank you very much.
