Rajagopal P. V. vice chairman of the Gandhi peace foundation to speak a few words,
“Gandhiji came back to India 100 years back from Africa. You know India is celebrating his return to India and when Gandhi came he was advanced to go around the country to understand India. During that yatra Gandhi was able to create hope and enthusiasm among people and that hope and enthusiasm was converted into action which finally led into freedom of INDIA.
So here again after 67 years of freedom g.m is going to walk he’s going to walk through India to create hope. so this is our responsibility people sitting on the dash people sitting among the audience that the kind of hope and enthusiasm that he will be able to create through this walk. We should be able to divert convert that into action in order to bring about change basic change in this country. That is one challenge in front of us as a result of the work that M is going to conduct.

So historical time for us to act so I want to thank, GM for beginning this process to inspire many of us to get into action to transform india.
If you have read today’s newspaper there is an NRI meeting happening in Amath bath. The maximum appreciation went to the Prime Minister bhuttan. when he when he spoke about happiness index and supposed to the growth index. I remember some days back when I met the former prime minister of Bhutan. he told me miss Rajagopal this idea of happiness came from Gandhi.
He gave this idea of servo Dia servo day is well being of all happiness of world. so we took it from you so my request to Sri m will be during your yatra kindly redefined development. Development is not all about growth and profit. Development is all about ethics and justice happiness and well-being of all.
