Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Rakhi, a wonderful festival of love, affection and intimacy, assures us that we are not alone. During the Covid epidemic, many children were left alone by the parents. Last Diwali we celebrated with all these children at the CM residence.
This year we are celebrating Rakhi together. The blessings of your Mama, state government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are with you all. It is my resolve that we will not allow the word orphan to remain in the state. Children, never consider you are alone. There have been many great people in the world who lost their parents in their childhood and faced many difficulties, but they did not give up. Facing difficulties in life, they made achievements and established their name, work and thoughts.
Chief Minister Chouhan was interacting with the children who came to the Chief Minister's residence to celebrate "Meri Rakhi Shivraj Mama ke Ghar". Children of Mukhya Mantri Covid Bal Kalyan Yojana, Bal Niketan, SOS Village, Aarushi Balika Grih, Paschatvarti Grih and Nitya Seva Society participated in the programme.
CM Chouhan welcomed the children with pampering and blessings. All the children who came to the CM's residence had the national flags in their hands. Sadhna Singh, Jamwal and Hitanand Sharma were also present.
While motivating the children, Chief Minister Chouhan said that you can do great things. Let us decide what we have to do. I believe that by making continuous efforts in the direction of what a person decides, he becomes successful in achieving the goal according to his wish.
CM Chouhan said that read and play diligently. Every person must have some talent, recognise it and try to improve it continuously. Referring to the lines from the poem of former Prime Minister Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee “Koshish Karane Waalon Kee Kabhee Haar Nahin Hotee”, Chief Minister Chouhan said that children should never be discouraged, read, write, move ahead, bring laurels to the family and the state.
