The State Government will organise a grand function on the 350th anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh celebrated as ‘prakashostav’. Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday said a State-level programme on Prakashotsava will be conducted in Jamshedpur on the 350th anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh. The Government would help in all possible ways for the propramme, where Sikhs from across the State will participate.
While holding a meeting with Gurdwara representatives at Project Building on Tuesday, Das said that Gurdwara management committees should form a State level committee and give their suggestions. The date of Prakashotsava will also be determined by the committee.
Underlining the contribution of Shikhs since Independence, the CM said that Guru Gobind Singh sacrificed his life at a very early stage. He was a great warrior, poet and social reformer. He mentioned that the biography of Guru Gobind Singh will be included in the curriculum of the state. A proposal will be tabled in the Cabinet to rename Station Road, Ranchi as Guru Gobind Singh Road. Special train will be run from Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Dhanbad to participate in the Patna Prakashotsava. Punjabi Refugee colony at Jamshedpur will be renamed as Guru Gobind Singh Nagar.
Responding to opening medical and engineering colleges, the CM said that the government is thinking of providing land at subsidized rate for this. Very soon, Minority Commission will be constituted and people belonging to this community will be given appropriate place.
He said that Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave the message of humanity. The schools run by them should impart skill also as skills are required with degrees.
Urban Development Minister CP Singh, Chief Secretary Raj Bala Verma, Additional CS Amit Khare, Tourism Secretary Rahul Sharma, presidents and secretaries of Gurudwara committees from all over the state were present in the meeting.
