Resources gifted by mother nature should never be exploited, said Minister of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and Mines Narendra Singh Tomar at the concluding ceremony of two-day Nadi Mahotsav at Bandrabhan in Hoshangabad on Saturday.
Emphasizing on the issue of harms of exploiting natural resources Tomar said that the use of natural resources for survival and flourishing is good but on the other hand harms of exploiting resources could create far reaching adverse effects.
Every aspect of our culture is connected with faith and devoutness under which rivers, forest and hills are worshipped. The programme of Nadi Mahotsav is organised to spread awareness of conservation of rivers among masses. An important aspect of this event is discussion on different topics related to the main theme and brain storming which are very vital.
Paying tribute to BJP leader late Anil Dave, he said that Dave was ideal leader, thinker and had rich creative personality. Speaker of Madhya Pradesh state assembly Sitasharan Sharma said conversation of rivers is cultural heritage of country. Considering protection of nature as religion work should be done to protect and conserve rivers. A resolution of assuming Narmada River as a living unit was passed in the State assembly, he added.
Excessive work on conservation of river is done in the state and to continue this work without disturbing nature is discussed and new ways are found in these events said Hoshangabad MP Rao Uday Pratap Singh.
later, Narmada Aarti was performed and photography exhibition was organised.
