'We have been doing what all we could do as a State Government and my humble request to you is to extend us your cooperation and help with benevolence and generosity, which would take forward our welfare and developmental activities in the desired pace."
He said "as we are yet to recover from the deep wound that struck our State eight years ago, every help and every initiative you give us, be it grants, institutions or help in any form will be enormously helpful in restructuring and reshaping our State and leapfrog to the national stream. Every additional financial aid given will strengthen in the rebuilding efforts of our Government and act as a balm for soothing the eight year old wound," he said.
