patr iot ic zeal is inherent in my nature . I give due

attention to their problems and l isten to their grievances

with sympathy and pat ience . I have also developed the

capacity to find out the p ract ical ways of settl ing labour

problems. May times I have heard from the workmen in the

factory , from their family members and from their neighbours

who gather without inv itat ion on seeing the companys o f f ic e r

at the worker 's house on the survival of labour and their v ita l lead ersh ip .
