Uttarakhand Governor Dr Dhal Singh Bisen felicitated at civic reception in Balaghat's Garra

Uttarakhand Governor Dr Dhal Singh Bisen was given a civic reception at Garra in Balaghat district on Wednesday, during a one-day visit. MP Bharti Pardhi was also present at the function.

The programme was held under the leadership of Vishal Bisen, district president of the Panwar Samaj. At the event, the Governor honoured members of the community who have been selected for the administrative services.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Bisen said people should make their post a means of service, not of ego. He said that while carrying out their responsibilities, they should put the voice and needs of the last person in society first. According to him, the success of the young people will inspire students.

The Governor said no goal is impossible with hard work, determination and sustained effort. He also said success does not lie merely in scoring good marks or reaching a prestigious post, but in using knowledge, opportunity and ability to bring positive change to society and the country.

Dr Bisen praised the digital library started in Garra by Vaibhav Bisen, sarpanch of the panchayat. The library has been named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Speaking about himself, the Governor said his political journey began in 1976 as a panch of the Pipariya panchayat. He then served as a member of a society and held responsibilities in the BJP from the mandal level to district president. He later worked as an MLA, Cabinet minister and Lok Sabha member. He described his political journey as difficult and full of struggle.

Dr Bisen said it was because of the BJP's top leadership that he got the opportunity to become Governor of Uttarakhand. He said he would try to live up to the leadership's expectations. He described Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh as equally rich in cultural consciousness, spiritual heritage and the spirit of patriotism.
