Governor Soundararajan also took a dig at the State government by saying that all the seats were filled with ‘VIPs’
Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday gave a call to the youth of Telangana State to associate themselves with Raj Bhavan.
While speaking on the occasion of pre-Ugadi celebrations held on Monday, Ms. Soundararajan said: “I know that youth of the Telangana are facing many challenges. I am sure they are courageous enough to overcome these challenges and emerge victorious. Raj Bhavan is with you all.”
Ms. Soundararajan also took a dig at the State government by saying that all the seats were filled with ‘VIPs’. Whenever we send out invitation, nobody comes, but it’s really nice to see people coming from distant places by accepting the Raj Bhavan’s invitation, she said.
She exhorted the youth to take forward the missions like Atma Nirbhar Bharat, Swachh Bharat and contribute for the country’s all-round development, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Raj Bhavan is taking up a lot of social service activities like the CPR challenge, blood donation camps, Chancellor Connects Alumni, tribal welfare etc., and I want the youth to be active partners in these initiatives,” she said.
The Governor honoured 13 people in recognition of their services and achievements in different fields. Colourful cultural events were organised as part of the celebrations and the performers came out with some enthralling performances. Hundreds of Youth Red Cross volunteers, and the student representatives from different universities took part in the celebrations.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
