Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is leaving no stone unturned in recognising and encouraging the immense potential and talent of the state. In this regard, the CM honoured the five meritorious recipients of the ‘Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2021’ from the state on Saturday.
He acknowledged the achievement of the five awardees as the hallmark of UP’s brimming talent, potential and uniqueness. He applauded their accomplishment by honouring them with a cash prize of Rs 51,000 each, along with tablets and other incentives. The honour bestowed upon all the recipients by the CM doubled their enthusiasm and filled their parents with pride.
Stating the examples of Vyom Ahuja of Lucknow, Kunwar Divyansh Singh of Barabanki, Chirag Bhansali of Gautam Buddh Nagar, Mohammad Shadab of Aligarh and Mohammed of Prayagraj, the CM urged others to derive inspiration from the achievements of these children who, not only worked towards identifying their talent but also with constant hard work driven by positive intentions, achieved successful results, making the entire state and nation proud.
The CM also mentioned that under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, the process of selecting the winners of national awards has become extremely transparent and be it the Padma awards or National Child Award, the distribution is solely based on merit.
While interacting with the guardians and children at the ceremony, the CM emphasised on the importance of self-analysis and said every child has something unique and special in them, and they just need to identify their potential and work towards refining it.
The CM asked the children to follow the path of ‘Nishkam Karma’ (selfless action), as stated in Bhagavad Gita, and urged the parents to motivate and encourage their children to follow their dreams and passion with utmost dedication and an optimistic approach, and always make complete use of every chance they get, as any opportunity might lead to great success.
The CM’s gesture of honouring the children filled them with excitement and joy. Yogi interacted with all the awardees and encouraged all of them to share their inspirational tales. The children apprised the CM of their hard work and future plans.
