Expressing his happiness at attending the event in his home state and former parliamentary constituency after assuming the office of Governor of Uttarakhand, he conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to the people of the region.
On the occasion, the Governor said that no matter how high a person rises in life, their roots always remain connected to their motherland, values and society. The affection, trust and blessings of the people of this region have been the greatest source of strength throughout his journey. He said that his public life began with medical service, following which he had the opportunity to serve in various capacities as a Member of the Legislative Assembly, Cabinet Minister in the Madhya Pradesh Government and Member of Parliament. Today, discharging constitutional responsibilities as the Governor of Uttarakhand is both a matter of pride and an important responsibility for him.
The Governor observed that both Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand are blessed with a rich cultural consciousness, spiritual heritage and deep patriotic spirit. Drawing inspiration from the values and principles imbibed in this land of Madhya Pradesh, he is committed to contributing to the nation’s progress through education, research, youth empowerment, environmental conservation and public welfare.
Expressing happiness over the felicitation of candidates selected in various examinations conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission, the Governor congratulated all the successful candidates. He said that their achievements were the result of hard work, discipline and perseverance. They would now shoulder important responsibilities in governance and administration. He urged the young officers to regard their positions as a means of service rather than a source of arrogance and to give priority to the needs of the most deprived sections of society in the discharge of their duties.
Referring to the teachings of Swami Vivekananda, the Governor called upon the youth to move forward with self-confidence, strength of character and a spirit of dedication towards the nation. He said that success does not merely lie in attaining a position but in bringing positive transformation to society and the nation through one’s knowledge and abilities. He also emphasised the importance of providing daughters with equal opportunities in education and progress.
The Governor appreciated the initiative of Vaibhav Bisen, Sarpanch of Garra village, for establishing an e-library in the memory of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He said that the library would help students in rural areas by providing access to digital resources, study materials and better opportunities to prepare for competitive examinations. This initiative would provide rural talent with a platform to excel and strengthen the culture of learning.
He further stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving forward with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. Youth power, women power, farmers’ strength and knowledge power will play a vital role in achieving this goal. He encouraged young people to take the lead in the fields of science and technology, research, innovation, entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.
Expressing his gratitude for the honour bestowed upon him in his former parliamentary constituency, the Governor said that he regarded the felicitation not as a personal achievement but as a symbol of the trust, blessings and affection of the people of the region. He urged the youth to take pride in their values and cultural heritage and dedicate their talents to the service of society and the nation.
