Jammu, Apr 21 (KNO): Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi led regime has taken development beyond mere statistics and has carried it to every doorstep, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday said that crores of families who once had no roof over their heads now have their own homes.
Speaking at the statue unveiling ceremony of Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh, a well‑known social worker and the founder of Mahamandaleshwar Shri Bal Krishna Yati Inter College at Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, LG Sinha, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that steps taken by the PM Modi led regime have brought dignity and security in society.
“Roads have reached every village, the number of airports has doubled, the digital revolution has connected every section of society. Today the marginalised section have bank accounts, they have an identity, they hold smart mobile phones for financial transactions, and in my view this is not merely technological progress but social empowerment,” he said.
“In far‑flung regions of the country, new schools, new universities and a new education policy together have begun to build an India in which the hands of the youth hold the reins of the future. The facilities now available particularly for girls are unprecedented in our history, and the purpose of education through innovation and research is no longer merely to pass exams but to create an aware and responsible citizen,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said, “We have to build an India which our freedom fighters once dreamed of. In which every section and every individual will be a part of the mainstream of progress.”
“India is moving decisively towards becoming a developed nation. The goal of 2047 is not merely a date; it is a national resolve,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
Paying homage to Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh, the Lieutenant Governor that he discharged his duties without any expectation, served without any desire for fame, and built not for himself but for the coming generations.
The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that we must carry the ideals of Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh Ji, a true karma‑yogi, to every segment of society.
“I feel particularly proud that Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh Ji did not ask what Bindravan could do for him; instead, he showed what Bindravan and the Jakhania region could do for themselves. This Inter College, born of a people’s movement, is just a small symbol of his transformative work.
Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh Ji did not merely establish a college; he made a pledge, a promise to the future. In 1974, when he laid the foundation of this institution, there was no major financial support and no assurance of success. All he had was an unshakeable belief that education is the power which can change society,” the Lieutenant Governor said—(KNO)
