‘Cultural Programme on the occasion of Divali’

It is with great pleasure and privilege that I find myself associated, with the Divali festival organised by the students and staff of the Mahatma Gandhi Institute.  I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Chairman of the Mahatma Gandhi Institute and Rabindranath Tagore Institute Council, the Director of the MGI and Officer-in-Charge of the MGI and RTI, and all the staff members of the Institute for the invitation and I extend my warmest wishes to all of them on the very special festival of lights.Wish you all a happy, prosperous and an enlightened Deepavali !  May the light that emanates from the diyas on the night of Deepavali show us the way to a better understanding of each other, so that peace may prevail in Mauritius.
