I am delighted that the ‘IC Center for Governance
Sardar Patel Lecture on Governance’ is being held at the Sardar Vallabhbhai
Patel Conference Hall at Upa-Rashtrapati Bhavan.
I welcome you all to the official residence of the
Vice President of India. It gives me immense pleasure to deliver this lecture
at this conference hall named after the great son of the soil, the unifier and
the Iron Man of modern India—Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Firstly, let me remind every Indian that each one of
us owes a huge debt of gratitude to Shri Sardar Patel for unifying India into a
single territorial entity by spectacularly bringing about the merger of more
than 560 princely States with the Union of India at its most critical point in
the country’s history...
