Our Sincere Obeisance Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Veer Surendra Sai Our Sincere Obeisance Buxi Jagabandhu Chakhi Khuntia Our Sincere Obeisance Swami Vivekananda Vyasakabi Fakir Mohan Senapati Message of Dr. S.C. Jamir Hon'ble Governor of Odisha On the Occasion of Republic Day - 2016 Dear Sisters and Brothers, I convey my heartiest greetings and good wishes to all of you on the 67th Republic Day 2016. This day, let us offer our sincere obeisance to the great sons of our soil, the freedom fighters and the noble martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the Nation. We owe our heartfelt gratitude to the Father of our Nation Mahatma Gandhi, and the founding father of our Constitution Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. On this historic occasion, let us salute the National Flag and pay reverence to our National Anthem and offer our respectful homage to the noble ideals and values of our Constitution. “Satyameva Jayate” is fundamental to our ideology. Our freedom struggle has spread the message of universal brotherhood, peace and non-violence across the globe. The Preamble of our Constitution in its uniqueness, distinguishes us from others. We salute the founding fathers of our Republic who gave us a written Constitution that guarantees individual liberty and ensures Social Justice. Constitution of a Democratic country is a fundamental legal document which lays down the basic structure of the Government and other public bodies, their powers, functions, rights and duties of the people. It also contains the principles to be followed in the governance of the country. 26th January, thus, is a remarkable day in the life of every Indian. On this day, we became a Republic and gave ourselves the Constitution that is the supreme law of the land inspired by the Democratic, Secular and Socialistic values.
