Jammu: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday paid tributes to Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on the occasion of their birth anniversary.
The LG, according to an official press release, said the ideals and vision of Malaviya and Atal Ji for developed India and their message of social harmony, equality and justice will always inspire the people. “They are the visionary architects of modern India,” he said.
Sinha was speaking at a commemorative event at Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya Inter College in Ghazipur. This year marks the 164th birth anniversary of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and the 101st birth anniversary of former Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The LG highlighted Malaviya’s unparalleled contribution to India’s educational, cultural and industrial advancement.
The LG stated that Malaviya transformed modern education into a powerful driver of development. He established Banaras Hindu University (BHU) through public mobilization donations. Following his ideals, we have utilized Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to develop infrastructure, and in Jammu and Kashmir, we have laid the foundation for over 1,800 houses for families affected due to Pakistani shelling during Operation Sindoor and recent natural disasters,” the LG said.
Paying tribute to former Vajpayee, the LG said Atal Ji awakened India’s inner strength and instilled a sense of self-esteem among fellow Indians on the global stage.
“Atal Ji prioritised good governance and economic development. His impact was universal. His administrative reforms and focus on transparency, accountability, and efficient, citizen-centric service delivery ensured inclusive and rapid development,” he said.
The LG said, “under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, dreams of Mahamana and Atal Ji are now being realized.” He said, India’s emergence as the world’s fastest-growing economy, is the testament to this transformation.
“For the first time in history, we see a strong and decisive government fulfilling the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. With the revival of ancient culture, upliftment of the poorest of the poor and transformation of villages into centers of dynamism, the Prime Minister is bringing the ideals of these great men to life,” the LG said.
