Chandigarh: Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao said that the teachings of Sant Shiromani Namdev Ji Maharaj continue to inspire society with the values of brotherhood, love, equality, humanity and respect for labour. Saints and great personalities do not belong to any particular caste or community but guide the entire society. She said that embracing their teachings in everyday life is essential for building a better society and a stronger nation. The State Government is committed to providing education, reservation and employment opportunities to the OBC community and is continuously working for its welfare and development.
She said that through his teachings and life, Sant Namdev Ji conveyed the message of devotion, service to humanity and respect for every individual who earns a living through hard work. His hymns are also included in the Shri Guru Granth Sahib. She added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving towards the goal of Viksit Bharat-2047. The Haryana Government, too, is working for the welfare of all sections of society and good governance, guided by the spirit of Antyodaya.
She further said that the Government is also working to provide opportunities to Agniveers in government services and economically empower women. Referring to the budgetary provisions for women’s welfare and the scheme providing LPG cylinders to eligible families at Rs. 500, she said that the objective of welfare schemes is to provide relief and support to the common people.
