Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, during a visit to Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur on Saturday, inaugurated the 500th Ek Se Sreshtha education centre and exhorted youngsters to become instruments of change to take India to the top by 2047.
“Development has taken place in the country at a rocket speed under the present government and now the onus to bring India to the top is on the youth, especially the women, who have been empowered through various schemes and initiatives,” he said.
Dhankhar, who was accompanied by Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur and Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, said about 10,000 girls are being imparted free education at these centres.
He added that 95 per cent of teachers at these centres are women, who are empowering the youngsters.
Ek Se Sreshtha is an initiative to ensure access to quality education and provide holistic development to students from all walks of life.
