Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today said that the Viksit Bharat envisioned by children will shape the India of tomorrow. He said that providing children with the right platform and encouragement can help nurture their creativity, values, spirit of service and commitment to nation-building.
The Chief Minister was addressing the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan and Nipuna Painting Exhibition programme organised at the Government Senior Secondary School, Kanipla, Kurukshetra, on Thursday. On the occasion, he unveiled the ‘Madhav Auditorium’ and a mural of Param Pujaniya Shri Guru Ji and also visited the painting exhibition. The Chief Minister also planted a sapling on the school premises.
Gita Manishi Swami Gyananand Maharaj, former Minister of State Subhash Sudha, Deputy Commissioner Sh. Vishram Meena, Dr. Om Prakash Arora, Ratna Chand Sardana, Dr Pritam Singh, senior officers and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to inspire children towards nation service
The Chief Minister said that the programme was organised under the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’. Under the campaign, painting and speech competitions were organised from September 17 to 21 for students from Classes III to XII, in which students participated enthusiastically. The selected entries from these competitions have been displayed at the district-level exhibition.
He said that a life is not considered great when it is lived for oneself; rather, a life lived for society is truly noble. The life of Shri Guru Ji is an example of this very spirit of dedication towards the nation and society.
Haryana preparing students for global opportunities
The Chief Minister said that today’s India is moving forward shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the world. Therefore, it is equally important to prepare students for global opportunities. In this direction, the French language has been introduced in government schools, while an agreement has been signed for the German language. Preparations are also underway to introduce Japanese and Korean languages in a phased manner.
He said that special attention is also being paid to the development of sports facilities in government schools. This year, Rs. 1 lakh each has been provided for the development of playgrounds in all government high and senior secondary schools.
