Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave students the mantra of self-discipline and hard work by citing the example of Japan.
He said, “Discipline is the greatest mantra of life. Those who have progressed and created history are those who remained disciplined, worked hard, and kept making efforts. You too should strive to create new history.”
The CM told the children, “The spirit of Nation First should reside in your hearts. You are receiving guidance from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the world’s largest social organisation, which has set an ideal for everyone. If you can learn something from it, your life will become meaningful.”
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was in Bulandshahr on Saturday and addressed a program organised at Rajju Bhaiya Sainik Vidya Mandir.
Congratulating Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shikshan Sansthan, CM Yogi said that private trusts can also establish Sainik Schools, and as part of this campaign, a Sainik School has been established in Bulandshahr. The establishment of a Sainik School in Bulandshahr, which has produced the highest number of soldiers and military officers, is extremely significant.
The CM felicitated Baba Rajpal Singh for donating 32 bighas of land for the Sainik School. He said that through this step, Baba Rajpal Singh has demonstrated that his life’s pursuit is also dedicated to the nation. He has donated this land to keep Rajju Bhaiya’s memory alive in his ancestral district.
He said, “During the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had administered a resolve to the countrymen that preparations for the centenary celebrations of India’s Independence should begin immediately and people should conduct themselves accordingly. For this, he laid down the Panch Pran for every Indian. These Panch Pran are essential for every citizen.”
The CM further informed, “Sainik Schools draw attention towards a disciplined and value-based environment. For a soldier, the nation comes first. By renouncing self-interest, a soldier gives priority to national interest and sacrifices his life while defending the country.”
The CM spoke about the hard work of soldiers stationed on the borders in severe winter conditions and in the scorching heat of Rajasthan, where temperatures reach 50 to 52 degrees, and then said, for a soldier, the nation comes first, then the family, and self-interest comes last. Soldiers stand guard in the mountains of Kargil at temperatures of minus 20 to minus 40 degrees, and because of them, the country remains secure.
The Chief Minister referred to his visit to Japan while addressing the children and stated, “In 1945, the atomic bomb was misused in Japan. Two cities with the country’s largest population came under the impact of the atomic bomb. Lakhs of people lost their lives. Japan was shattered economically and psychologically. Yet today Japan is a developed economy. India became independent in 1947, and the circumstances of both countries were more or less similar. The progress made by India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi over the past 12 years is commendable. India has now become the fourth largest economy, while Japan, despite suffering atomic bomb attacks, never stopped, never bowed, never grew weary, and never faltered.”
The CM said, I witnessed Japan’s technology and self-discipline. Self-discipline is the foundation of the progress of any community, society, or nation. Japan became a developed country because of self-discipline.
Describing Rajju Bhaiya as a source of inspiration, the CM gave students the mantra of discipline and said, “His life was dedicated to Bharat, Bharatiyata, and the protection and promotion of Sanatan values. He was a renowned scientist and a Professor of Physics at Allahabad University. Our government established a university in Prayagraj in Rajju Bhaiya’s name. He was the fourth Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (1994 to 2000). He provided leadership to lakhs of swayamsevaks across the country and the world.”
