On the eve of 61st Independence Day on 15th August 2008, I extend my warm greetings and felicitations to SP Guide Publications.

India is steadily progressing since our Independence and will continue to progress in the years to come. The print media, on its part, is doing its best to give wide-spread dissemination of information and I am proud to say that SP Guide Publications through its various publications is rendering great service to the nation about the news/write ups and articles vastly covering defence related matters. I hope SP Guide Publications will continue to do its best in their service to the nation by bringing more such issues in the years to come.

Jai Hind.

On the occasion of the Nation's 61st Independence Day, I extend my warmest greetings to the entire SP Guide Publications fraternity. The 15th August should always be an opportunity for us to reflect, take stock, and define new trajectories.

SP Guide Publications has been playing a stellar role in publishing high-quality articles that examine in some depth the people, the platforms and the operations of the world's defence forces. The publications feature articles written mainly by serving and retired soldiers, sailors and airmen and are illustrated with top-quality photography. They tackle issues of interest to today's military and are committed to bringing its readers independent, informed and honest observations on defence-related issues.

The cross-section of the community that browses through their journals range from very young officers to our veterans and this is indicative of its popularity, which is growing with every new issue. I take this opportunity to wish all readers of SP Guide Publications a glorious year ahead.

Jai Hind.

SP’s Group is a premier group of publications that has served to build increasing awareness on defence matters in India and abroad. It has maintained high standards of credible journalism and informed opinion. On the 61st Independence Day, I wish the Group and its staff, many more laurels. Keep up the good work.

Jai Hind.
