Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today announced that a research chair in the name of Maharana Pratap and a study centre will be established at Kurukshetra University.
The Chief Minister also announced to rename the Government Women’s College located at Baragarh in Shahzadpur after Maharani Padmavati.
While addressing a state-level function on the occasion of Maharana Pratap Jayanti at Shahzadpur, the Chief Minister also announced Rs 5 crore for various development works in the Naraingarh Assembly constituency, Rs 31 lakh for the construction work of the Rajput Hostel and construction of a pucca drain in Shahzadpur.
Earlier, the Chief Minister also unveiled the renovated statue of Maharana Pratap. Governor of Mizoram General Vijay Kumar Singh (retd) also attended the function.
CM Saini said that Maharana Pratap was such a great warrior that merely taking his name fills every heart with a wave of patriotism. He was born at a time when Indian society was overshadowed by injustice and oppression and efforts were being made to destroy our glorious culture and hurt the religious sentiments.
“The Rajput community is a symbol of justice and truth. This community has given great rulers to the country. The community holds a leading place among those who sacrificed for the honour, pride and dignity of the nation during India’s freedom struggle and after Independence. The life of Maharana Pratap gives us the message that as long as self-respect remains alive, our soul remains alive,” CM Nayab Saini said.
The CM further said that Maharana Pratap’s principles of not allowing any harm to come to the country’s civilisation and culture continue to guide the country even today. “Inspired by his bravery, our armed forces have defeated enemies many times in wars. Following the principles of Maharana Pratap, the government is working with the spirit of Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas."
The CM said that the country recently observed the anniversary of Operation Sindoor. The country is today emerging as a strong India and the strength of India is being acknowledged across the world.
Governor of Mizoram General Vijay Kumar Singh said, “We should learn from Maharana Pratap’s life and never forget our heritage, culture and religion. Maharana Pratap always gave priority to the welfare of the people and never cared for his own comfort or welfare. Only by following his ideals can society, the state and the country progress."
He said the style of warfare through which Maharana Pratap defeated the Mughals was later adopted by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Maharana Pratap’s war strategy was unparalleled and teaches us that no task should ever be carried out impulsively; rather, if every task is done thoughtfully and carefully, victory will always be yours. Just as Maharana Pratap never forgot his duty and dharma despite hardships, we too should learn to struggle and fight against difficulties. To take Haryana forward, we should draw inspiration from his life.
Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana, Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda, Food and Supplies minister Rajesh Nagar, MLA Assandh Yogender Rana, BJP district chief Mandeep Rana, and several other BJP leaders attended the event.
