Addressing the JNPort family at the ceremony, Shri Sanjay Sethi, IAS, Chairman, JNPA, said, “Let me extend my wishes to you all on the auspicious occasion of India’s 74th Republic Day. It’s on this in 1950 that our great country achieved the full stature of sovereign, secular, socialist republic by accepting the Constitution. We remember our leaders who laid their lives to achieve this status. Let’s take an oath to follow the path shown by our great leaders to make our country an economic and social power. We can collectively achieve this goal and maintain social equilibrium within our country.”
