Social Institutions Are Carrying the Legacy of Service: Punjab CM Saini

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the greatness of any society is not measured by its economic prosperity, but by how it treats its weak, helpless and underprivileged sections. A society that cares for its deprived and needy citizens is truly progressive and compassionate.

The Chief Minister was addressing the 346th Masik Vidhwa Rashan Evam Sahayata Vitran Samaroh held at Shree Gyan Sthal Mandir in Ludhiana, Punjab, on Sunday, as the Chief Guest. On the occasion, he also announced a grant of ₹11 lakh for the Gyan Sthal Mandir Sewa Society.

Paying tributes to martyr Lala Jagat Narayan, the Chief Minister said that he dedicated his entire life to patriotism, social harmony, and service to humanity. He made the supreme sacrifice for safeguarding the unity and integrity of the nation. He added that the legacy of service, dedication, and commitment to national interest exemplified by Lala Jagat Narayan is being carried forward today by the Gyan Sthal Mandir Sewa Society and the Lala Jagat Narayan Nishkam Sewa Samiti.

A Unique Service Mission Continuing for 346 Months

The Chief Minister said that the service initiative started in 1997 by late Jagdish Bajaj has now evolved into a large-scale public welfare movement. Providing assistance continuously for 346 months to widowed mothers and sisters in need is in itself a remarkable achievement. He also appreciated the dispatch of the 64th relief truck carrying aid for families affected by terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
