Dibrugarh: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Sarbananda Sonowal called the ‘Nari Shakti’ the Maha Shakti which is propelling Bharat forward in the 21st century.
While addressing the 30th Foundation Day celebration of Moran Jatiyo Mahila Parishad at Borguri in Tinsukia, Sonowal hailed the Nari Shakti as the symbol of patience and perseverance at the event.
Sonowal said, “Nari Shakti is the Maha Shakti — one that is propelling Bharat forward towards Atmanirbharta and Vikas. Swami Vivekananda once said that a country is great where the women are respected. The role of the Mother in shaping her sons and daughters to become able citizens of the society is unparalleled. The power of the country grows manifold when the power of women grows.”
“With this vision, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has launched the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative which has given tremendous results towards nation-building. Today, the empowered Self Help Groups, mostly driven by women around the country, have been contributing immensely towards the growth of the Indian economy as well as moving towards Atmanirbharata. From the greatest achievements of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to our women’s power in defence forces, the women of the country have been contributing in all fields,” Sonowal stated.
The Union minister added, “Today, women have been able to diligently run a household to a country. Nari Shakti is the symbol of patience and perseverance. Our mothers are our biggest influence to become the persons we have become. Your role in building the future of the society is unparalleled.”
“The youth must respect their historical lineage, their heritage and try to learn from the great history of Morans in building the future of the community as a force of reckoning as we move towards building a Viksit Dibrugarh — aligning with the vision of PM’s Viksit Bharat. You must shape your outlook with the inspiring heroics of Bir Raghab Moran. We must study these heroic tales of our illustrious past and shape our minds towards this end so as to be a meaningful contributor towards a great Moran society,” Sonowal said.
He further added, “I call upon all the community organisations to provide avenues for the youth to build their personalities around these heroic characters of our golden past. Once this is done, I am confident that the Moran community will become one of the best communities in the world, with a positive outlook towards the process of nation building.”
“To beat the growing competition, it is imperative that we must move forward in this century with this outlook to shape future generations and make them able to meet all future challenges. To become the best of this age, we must compete, and compete well equipped with able personalities. In this, the greatest contributor is the women. This ‘Nari Shakti’ must instil this instinct, to train the personalities of the young minds of our society,” Sonowal said.
