Governor attends “Lohpurush Rashtriya Ekatmata Award” Ceremony in Guwahati
Guwahati,Rongili Barta: Assam Governor Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya attended the Lohpurush Rashtriya Ekatmata Award distribution ceremony, which has been organised by Bharat Bharati at the Lohia Lions Gauhati Auditorium in Guwahati.
Speaking on the occasion, Governor Shri Acharya termed the occasion as a celebration of unity, national spirit and collective resolve. Extending his heartfelt congratulations to the awardees, he said that honours conferred in the name of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel serve as a reminder of his unparalleled contribution to India’s unity and integrity. He said that at the time of independence, when the nation faced political fragmentation, Sardar Patel’s courage, vision, and determination ensured the integration of more than 500 princely states, laying the foundation of a strong and united India.
The Governor said that unity is the harmony of minds, which binds society beyond differences of language, religion, culture, or region. He observed that India’s enduring strength lies in its timeless principle of “unity in diversity,” rooted in the civilisational ideals of public welfare and collective progress. Referring to the guiding ethos of “Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah” and “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” he said these values continue to inspire the nation’s inclusive and compassionate outlook.
Highlighting the vision of the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, the Governor spoke on development as well as heritage, stating that both should go hand in hand to realise the dream of a developed India. He added that Assam is making steady strides across sectors, with meaningful contributions from social organisations and dedicated citizens.
Describing public service as a noble pursuit, the Governor urged the youth to embrace service, sensitivity, and social responsibility as guiding principles in life. He congratulated all the awardees for their selfless dedication to society and hailed Bharat Bharati for promoting national integration, cultural harmony, and patriotic values across the country.
