The month of November occupies an important place not only in the history of the Congress Party, but also in the contemporary history of India. It was in this month that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Smt. Indira Gandhi were born. These two leaders had laid the path for independent India. Their deep comprehension of India, the world and their thorough understanding of the hope and aspirations of the people of India is reflected in the policies they formulated. These policies which stood the test of the time continue to be the guiding light and a tradition for the Party. Smt. Sonia Gandhi continues this tradition. These policies brought prosperity to India, helped improve literacy and health care. Still, there is a lot to be done, as Smt. Sonia Gandhi says repeatedly. Accomplishment of these tasks without disturbing democracy calls for imagination, dedication and hard work at all levels. The party organization at every level needs to participate effectively in this great drive. Pradesh Congress Committees have a tremendous responsibility to ensure this.
