Governor Ram Naresh Yadav has appealed the people of the State specially youths and student communities to take social service as a movement and participate in rebuilding the nation.
Addressing at a felicitation function of students belonging to State-level Junior Red Cross here on Monday, the first citizen of the State said it was vital to apprise youths and students about the country’s civilisation, culture and traditions.
During the programme, Governor felicitated 340 members of Junior Red Cross of 40 districts. At the function, Vice-President of People’s Hospital, Arogya Dham Hospital and Ram Roti Yojana Shashi Kiran Nayak was also felicitated for social service. The Governor said camps of Red Cross should be held at villages, districts and towns also. This would inculcate spirit of service among youths and students to serve the poor, farmers and suffering people living there.

Speaking on the occasion, Madhya Pradesh Red Cross Society’s chairman Mukesh Nayak said that Red Cross was making efforts to provide maximum nutritious meals to the poor and patients’ families through Ram Roti Yojana. Urging every section of society to contribute a fistful of food grains as assistance, he said that it would go a long way in arranging meals for patients and their families in hospitals.
