Lucknow, Jan 26 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday that our country is completing 70 years of implementing the Constitution.
The Constitution of India has given us a lot, therefore we should feel proud of our constitution, he said.
"We talk about our constitutional rights, but not about our duties. Along with the rights, our constitution also tells us about our duties," he said.
On the occasion of Constitution Day, our government organized a special session on this subject in the Assembly. This Republic Day is reminding us of the fundamental duties assigned by the Constitution, the CM said.
The Chief Minister was addressing the closing ceremony of Foundation Day of Uttar Pradesh held at Awadh Shilp Gram here on Sunday.
Extending wishes to the nation and the people on the occasion of Republic Day, he said that India is among the few democratic countries in the world, which gave voting rights to every adult citizen of this country immediately after the constitution came into force. "Through this three-day programme, not only the artists of Lucknow but artists from different regions of the state got the platform. Apart from this, people from every corner of the state also came to see the exhibition", the CM said.
The Chief Minister said that if every person honestly discharges his duties in his field then the welfare of the nation and society is possible. This can also bring happiness in our lives. But when the fight for mutual interest begins, then chances of clashes arises as quickly. However, when we are conscious of our duties, then such a situation does not arise, he said.
The Chief Minister said that we should also feel proud of the tradition of Uttar Pradesh because it is the land of civilization and culture. We can give a lot to the country and the world through Uttar Pradesh. For this, 23 crore people of Uttar Pradesh will have to discharge their constitutional duties with honesty. When every person uses his full potential, then Uttar Pradesh will be among the leading states of the country, the CM said.
The Chief Minister said that earlier students had to visit offices for the scholarship. Now our government has ensured that the first installment of the scholarship should be transferred into the account of the students on October 2 and the second installment on Republic Day, he added. Under this scheme, the amount has been transferred through DBT to the account of more than 56 lakh 66 thousand students of the state. The number of students getting a scholarship is increasing year after year. This time, 10 lakh 56 thousand additional students are getting scholarships for the first time, the Chief Minister said.
The Chief Minister said that the programmes organized here on 25 January 2020 to carry forward the traditional enterprise, felicitation of artisans related to 'Vishwakarma Shram Samman' and programmes related to Khadi and Village Industries are highly appreciated. Our government laid the foundation stone of Atal Residential School on the 24th of this month. These schools will be opened in all the 18 divisions of the state, the Chief Minister said.
