PNS

Dignitaries, who have made their mark in the society, inspire other to follow in their footsteps. Few people work differently and other people take inspiration from them.

They work to join hands with other. This was said by Harish Rawat, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand while addressing the people in Youth Icon Award-2014 ceremony at ANM Ghosh auditorium, ONGC, Dehradun on Sunday. Today’s India is a strong nation in the world and its strength is 80 crore middle class. Fourteen crore people have been joined Above Poverty line (APl) from Below Poverty line (BPl).

If we seriously work then we can weed out illiteracy, poor and other social & economic evil from the society. It is true that Uttarakhand is a small State but abundance of opportunity is available here. World would see Uttarakhand growing along with India. Appreciating the awardees, CM said that to make youth more aware and accountable we should organise more such events in future because youths get inspiration from great personalty and take self pledge to do something for the society.

Organisation’s founder director Shashi Bhushan Maithani said “That we organise this to motivate our youth and make them realise that nothing is impossible for them. Since 2010, we have been organising this in Dehradun. In which noted journalist and political analyst Ram Kripal Singh was present as special chief guest.

They felicitated the journalists, who worked very hard during disaster-2013, local people and State level police officers too. In his address, Ram Kripal Singh said that earlier such felification ceremony was being organised in Delhi and Mumbai or other metro cities but now such event is being organised by Youth Icon annually at Dehradun.

With this able people would get recongination in hilly State. Other dignitaries including Cabinet Ministers Dinesh Dhanai and DInesh Aggrawal, Youth Icon award president Dr Mahesh Kudiyal and jury senior member Dr RK Jain were present there.
