Param Vir Albert Ekka is a martyr in the 1971 war who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra – highest military honour. He is also the first Param Vir Chakra winner from the state of Jharkhand. It is a matter of pride for us to be a part of this mass movement. Upon support from the Jharkhand government, a formal MOU has also been signed. We are keen to take up this people’s movement forward & assist the administration wherever needed. On this occasion, I request teachers of all the schools to take up keen interest in this noble initiative.”
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Subhajit Roy Mukherjee of Arogya Vahini Trust who came specially from Kolkata for the launch of Morning Nutrition program said, “Satya Sai Baba’s mission is not just about catering to health, education and nutrition needs of the people, but its aim is to make the better of every life and soul. Our movement is all about marching together by taking government, society, and institution as a three-tier system. In the coming days, am confident some of these children will become doctors, engineers etc., but more importantly, they will become good citizens of our nation.”
