Highlighting the vital role of unity, social responsibility, and entrepreneurship in nation-building, Himachal Pradesh Governor Kavinder Gupta made a powerful call for collective action to realize the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. Addressing the 43rd Annual Agroha Mela and Sammelan organized by the Agroha Vikas Trust in Hisar, Haryana, the Governor invoked the timeless ideals of Maharaja Agrasen Ji, calling his principles of service, equality, and mutual support an enduring source of inspiration for a self-reliant India.
Describing Maharaja Agrasen Ji as a visionary social reformer, Governor Gupta highlighted the historic principle of “one brick and one rupee” as a classic model of community empowerment and shared responsibility. He lauded the Agarwal community’s immense contributions to India’s economic and social landscape, acknowledging their leadership in trade and industry alongside their generous philanthropy in creating vital public institutions like schools, hospitals, dharamshalas, and gaushalas across the country.
The Governor further emphasized the strategic role of youth in driving the nation forward under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed, technologically advanced India. He urged the younger generation to stay deeply rooted in India’s cultural heritage while passionately pursuing modern science and technology. Drawing parallels between the neighboring states, Governor Gupta noted that the shared cultural values of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana reflect a joint spirit of harmony, cooperation, and collective welfare that continues to strengthen the nation’s fabric.
Also addressing the gathering, former Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Subhash Chandra echoed these sentiments, highlighting how Maharaja Agrasen Ji’s teachings remain highly relevant today in promoting social cooperation, ethical economic growth, and national progress.
