The Governor, being a member of the National Committee, suggested for active and enthusiastic participation of the people in ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, while adding, that “It should be a ‘Jan Andolan’ and must inspire the younger generation to contribute towards the Nation’s cause”, a communiqué from the Raj Bhavan said.
The Governor further urged that ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ must highlight the unsung heroes of the State who took part in the country’s freedom struggle. He also emphasised on empowerment of
women and promotion of culture, crafts and sports.
