For the upcoming 2019 Assembly elections, a day- long workshop was organised by Vikas Bharti, Bishnupur on voter awareness for its panchayat and block level workers on November 12 at Arogya Bhavan, Ranchi.
The programme was attended by 1500 panchayat and block level workers from the 24 districts of the State.
In the workshop Anuj Kumar Sinha, Editor of a leading Hindi newspaper, Ranjana Kumari, Member of State Food Industry, Vinod Kumar from a vernacular daily and Arun Kumar Jain from the organisation were mainly present.
Addressing the gathering Sinha highlighted the importance of every single vote and also said that each vote plays a crucial role in deciding the fate of a candidate. He also urged the workers to motivate people in their localities and villages to also cast their votes. “Give your vote to the candidate who according to you will work for your development and the society as a whole,” said Sinha. Kumar said that often in villages people are unable to find their voter slips because of which they do not cast their votes and the workers should encourage their neighbours to vote during the elections.
Member of State Food Industry Ranjana Kumari said that women should actively participate during the elections in creating awareness.
They should cast their votes and also encourage others to go their polling booths for the same.
Secretary Vikas Bharti Bishnupur Ashok Bhagat said that voters should fearlessly and impartially take part in the upcoming elections.
At the workshop the workers pledged to have faith in the democracy and exercise their right in the upcoming elections without being affected by religion, caste, language or any other problem. The workers also promised to conduct voter awareness camps in their respective village and urge others to vote.
