Minister of State for Sports and Youth Welfare Brijendra Pratap Singh flagged off the first male team under ‘Maa Tujhe Pranam’ Yojana for international borders Wagha and Hussainiwala on Monday. MP Anil Madhav Dave, former DGP AR Pawar, Director Sports Shailendra Shrivastava and large number of sportspersons were present at the function at TT Nagar Stadium.
Brijendra Pratap Singh said that this is a novel scheme for instilling spirit of patriotism among youths and motivate them to come forward for leadership development. He said that generally, people just talk about patriotism.
But these youths will share this experience in effect. Brijendra Pratap Singh said that these youths will visit border areas and return after conducting study on local people’s methods of farming, business, industries and other problems.
MP Anil Madhav Dave said that youths should apply soil of borders to their foreheads and bring some with them.
He said that youths should motivate their fellows by sharing experiences of this journey with them.
It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was scheduled to flag off this journey earlier. Due to some unavoidable reasons, Chouhan could not participate in the function.
