Vice President Hamid Ansari on Friday said that his nine years in office have been very productive and he has enjoyed them immensely.
"Every day is a new day and when you live with this kind of a responsibility you live with the challenges of the day. The past nine and a half years have been very productive and a learning experience for me and I have enjoyed it immensely," he said.
Ansari was en-route from Kampala to Delhi when he made the statement.
He succeeded Bhairon Singh Shekhawat as the twelfth Vice President of India on 11th August 2007 and was subsequently re-elected on 7th August 2012.
He is the only Vice President other than Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan to be the Vice President of India for two consecutive five-year terms.
