On behalf of our Union and on department, we beg to convey our heartfelt congratulations to the Hon.ble Rai Bahadur Sir K.Vekata Reddi Nayudu,Kt.--our Development Minister -- on the richly deserved honour bestwed on him by His Majesty the king Emperor on the occasion of His Majesty's Birthday. Our department will always be grateful to the Minister for the paternel care with which he has been fotering it and will never forget the zeal with which he has been for the last three years protecting and defending it from unfair and uncharitable criticism both within the Council and outside .Every body interested in the Agricultural Department will, we belive,recognise that it is due to his personal interest and exertions and to his attitude of encouragement and sympathy--so necessary for progress in scientific work--that it has been fairly generously treated during the Budget debates in the Council.We are afraid, now that the term of his office is drawing near, our department may perhaps be deprived of his kind care in future, but we are hopeful that,into whatever sphere of work to may be drafted in coming years,he will continue to have a warm corner in his heart for this department.
