In order to instill the feeling of patriotism in the youth and to make sure that the new generation is told about the sacrifices made to attain freedom, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has asked the officials to make a detailed history of the Chauri Chaura incident accessible to the youth.
"The government has made all arrangements to celebrate the Chauri Chaura incident this year. It will be celebrated in a grand way to commemorate all the freedom fighters," the chief minister said in a written statement issued here on Tuesday.
The chief minister also urged the younger generation to develop a sense of devotion for the nation and value the freedom for which their ancestors sacrificed their lives.
"Make this country your own. Live those dreams for which the freedom fighters sacrificed their lives. Develop passion and devotion for the country you are living in," Yogi Adityanath said.
The idea behind this celebration is to tell the new generation about the sacrifices of those unsung heroes whose names were consigned to anonymity by the Britishers.
The state government has announced to hold year-long centenary programmes in view of 75 years of independence and has plans to develop the Chauri Chaura Shaheed Memorial as a heritage tourist spot.
