"On the occasion of the New Year, I extend my greetings and best wishes to all my people in India and abroad," he said in his message in New Delhi.

He asked fellow citizens to spread happiness everywhere by sharing knowledge, removing pain and giving part of one's rightful earning.

"Happiness will spread everywhere, if citizens of our country decide to give. Giving gives happiness," the President said.

In his message for Idu'l Zuha, Kalam said it is indeed a day of rememberance of the great sacrifice and a thanksgiving day to the Almighty who has bestowed everything to humanity.

It is a beautiful mission for every family to give to the needy, the President said, adding, "By giving, God multiplies happiness to the family." "May God bless you all," the New Year message said.
