Staying within the precincts of Rashtrapati Bhavan, he has shown how one can contribute in the context of the ‘new normal’ and live in tune with the nature, in austerity.

This volume, includes a special section wherein the President expresses his contemplations on two great souls, Gautam Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi, and the significance of their preachings, especially in the twenty-first century.
