Lt Guv unveils statue of renowned Social Worker Shri Vijay Bahadur Singh in Ghazipur
JAMMU, APR 21: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday called for building India which our freedom fighters once dreamed of and in which every section and every individual is 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.
The Lieutenant Governor was 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.
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.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor spoke about service, sacrifice and nation building.
He highlighted that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India has taken development beyond mere statistics and carried it to every doorstep.
