Bye Bye 2020 - Take away COVID-19 with you

As 2020 comes to an end and we look back, the year has thrown innumerable challenges, but we stood strong, amidst all odds. We continued to keep our focus on our commitments, day on day, through the year. Each one has demonstrated our core values in supporting each other, doing the right thing, while working from home for the most part of the year. I would like to take this opportunity to specially thank all the efforts put in ensuring disciplined execution by our health workers, support staff, Police force, Vegetable, Milk & Grocery Vendors, while our family steered through these challenging times.

For whole India health and safety remain the top priority and we continue to take all possible measures, as we navigate through this pandemic. Special thanks to all loved ones at home for their remarkable support during these difficult times. I really wish speedy recovery for those who got affected by this pandemic and we will continue to provide all possible support.

A BIG Thank You to Narendra Modi Government for his focus, innovation, dedication, and passion, to make this happen and help us sail through these unprecedented times under his wise leadership. I encourage you to make best use of this time and take a well-deserved time off, to recharge, and spend quality time with your loved ones.

With this note Let us ring in 2021 with lots of optimism for a new tomorrow. Cheers to everyone & have a prosperous new year. Wishing you and your family a very happy new year and the best of health and happiness!
