On the occasion of India’s 78th Independence Day, I extend my warmest wishes to you all. Over the past 78 years, our nation has achieved remarkable milestones in various fields.

True independence is realized when the most marginalized person in the remotest village feels respected, and their fundamental rights are safeguarded. We are privileged to serve in the villages, upholding this noble cause.

Our founder, Fr. Windey, envisioned a harmonious and peaceful India, where community spirit thrives. VRO has been steadfast in pursuing this dream, honoring the sacrifices of our freedom fighters who paved the way for a brighter tomorrow.

Wishing you all a joyous Independence Day, may our collective efforts continue to foster a united and prosperous India.
