Address
I am very happy to be with you all, this afterhoon. Time was when many used to think that developmental efforts and social upliftment activities were purely the concern of the government and government alone. This philosophy has, undergone a sea change in the not-too-distant past. The government's role, appropriately, has come- to be regarded as more or less regulatory and more as a facilitator. The birth of many non-governmental organisations is a testimony to this wholesome and welcome change in the philosophy of development. .
