Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that students of the State should do everything possible to progress in life. The State Government stands with you at every step. Rs 40.52 crore was transferred by single click to the accounts of 16,208 students in ratio of Rs 25,000 per student for purchase of laptops under the Pratibhashali Vidyarthi Protsahan Yojana.
An amount of Rs 101 crore is to be provided to 40,542 students under the scheme this year. Chief Minister Chouhan said that this scheme was discontinued. The scheme which encourages students and creates competitive spirit is being re-launched today on the occasion of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s birthday. This incentive is being given to students through a virtual progarmme due to Covid-19. Otherwise, I would have been delighted on meeting my nephews and nieces in person.
Chouhan said that students should take inspiration from Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. He lived in difficult circumstances but never gave up. He formed an organization on the basis of his talent and gave a new concept to the world. Chouhan said that the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also inspiring for the students. Appreciating Modi, a man who survived difficult circumstances, for his organizational skills, Chouhan said that a new, glorious, magnificent, prosperous, flourishing and powerful India is emerging under Modi’s leadership. The young generation should move ahead in the fields of their interest and nature with self-respect and self-esteem.
