Extract of the Former President of India-Dr.Kalam's Address to the Rashtrapati Bhavan Community, New Delhi

21/Jul/2007 : New Delhi

Past meet the Present and creates the Future

Rashtrapati Bhavan has given me many memorable events in which we have all worked together. It has been transformed into People?s Bhavan, thanks to your efforts. Nearly one million people every year from all walks of life and all age groups such as farmers, sarpanches, police personnel, postmen, writers, educators, political leaders, judicial personalities, home makers, Indians living abroad, industrialists, teachers and students have enriched us with their presence.,,,,,,

I was thinking what I can ask you at this time. Each one of you grown-ups and children can plant one tree in Rashtrapati Bhavan. These trees will be named after each one of you. The Garden will be called Family Garden. Dr. Brahma Singh will give you a programme. I am sure you will give full support to plant atleast 10,000 saplings which will definitely improve the ecology of this place. Almighty will bless you.
