Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has urged youth to contribute their bit in re-awakening of the nation. He said that India has glorious history and ancient civilisation. Universities like Nalanda and Taxila were in existence in the ancient times when Western countries were in primitive stage.
Chouhan flagged off Mass Awakening Campaign and Punarjagaran Yatra of Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan Madhya Pradesh for making youth partners in country’s development on Tuesday. The Yatra will visit villages in the State and make youth realise their duty and responsibilities towards nation.
Chouhan informed that the State Government is implementing five schemes for social and cultural re-awakening including Water Conservation, Beti Bachao, plantation, Swachchh Bharat and School Chalen Hum Abhiyan. He urged Nehru Yuva Kendra to give guidance to these campaigns also. Revolutionary changes can be brought about if society and government work in tandem. He said that it is an opportune time for re-awakening of India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Describing PM Modi as a visionary, he said that all Central schemes are unique. He urged youth to ensure that benefits of these schemes are extended to lowest strata of society. He said that lacunae coming to fore during implementation at lowest level will be rectified in time.
National President of Nehru Yuva Kendra VD Sharma informed that the yatras started from four places in the country will culminate at Mathura on September 25, the birth anniversary of propounder of Ekatma Manavwad Pt Deendayal Upadhyay. Over 12,000 youth will converge at Mathura from the country. He threw light on outlines of Punarjagaran Yatra. Vijesh lunawat and Sunil Bansal were also present.
