A university to be established in Bhagalpur in the name of Syama Prasad Mukherjee

Patna (ABN): Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary today inaugurated the Harmony Resolve campaign by lighting a lamp at Gyan Bhavan, Patna, on the occasion of the 650th birth anniversary of Sant Shri Ravidas Ji. Addressing the program, the Chief Minister said that the thoughts of Sant Shri Ravidas Maharaj and the path of harmony, service, and humanity will be taken to every village of Bihar. He said that Sant Ravidas' ideas are uniting society, and the Bihar government will work to take his message to the last person in society. The soil of Sant Ravidas' birthplace will be taken to the district, block, and panchayat level. If any math, temple, religious place, tola, or family wants the soil of Sant Ravidas Ji's village, arrangements will be made to take it there as well. The Chief Minister said that Sant Ravidas is a symbol of harmony, humanity, and service. The social harmony message he gave about 650 years ago is still relevant today. Sant Ravidas' ideas were accepted by different sections of society, and his ideas were also included in the Granth of Guru Nanak. He said that the construction of society has not been done by the efforts of just one class. The services of saints like Guru Ramanand should also be remembered. Instead of creating discrimination between upper and lower castes, Dalits, or other classes, the tradition of saints has been to take everyone along.

The Chief Minister said that despite difficulties, Sant Ravidas' life has been a message of uniting society and humanity. The tradition of saints is an important heritage of eternal society. Sant Ravidas Ji showed the path of harmony, service, and humanity against social discrimination. He said that the Bihar government will work tirelessly in the fields of education, social justice, and development, while also taking the teachings of Sant Ravidas Ji to the people. The government's goal is to ensure the development and access to education of every individual in society and to make Bihar one of the leading states in the country in the fields of knowledge, technology, and social harmony.

The Chief Minister, while mentioning the government's plans in the education sector, said that big changes are being made in Bihar to provide quality education to poor children. He said that daughters from the Dalit community face difficulties in leaving their villages for education. With this in mind, residential hostels and schools are being opened in all districts of Bihar in the name of Mata Savitri Bai Phule. Efforts are being made to bring revolutionary changes in the field of education in Bihar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also given clear instructions to take Bihar forward as a center of education.

The Chief Minister said that the government will promote all languages and educational systems according to the population. He clarified that the attention given to madrasas will not be given to Sanskrit education at any cost. Considering the large population of Kishanganj, there is a need to open Urdu schools, and the government will work for this. Every individual who has complete faith in the nation and nationalism is a part of the country's development journey. He said that the goal is to create a system within the next one or two years where the children of ministers, MLAs, and district officials can also study in government schools. Only when children from rich families start studying in government schools will it be considered that a real change has come in the government education system. Along with preparation for NET and JEE, live classes will also be provided in government schools. He said that arrangements will be made to provide online tutors to children studying in government schools in Bihar till 11 pm. The goal is to implement this system by August 15. The purpose is to enable children from poor families to get help from teachers at all times, just like children studying in convent or boarding schools.

The Chief Minister said that the government has opened 211 degree colleges so that students from Bihar do not have to go to other states for higher education. The shortage of teachers in every college will be addressed. The goal is to ensure the availability of teachers in degree colleges by October 10. The process of reinstating assistant professors is being completed, and work is also underway to create around 9,000 additional posts. Under TRE 4, the reinstatement of around 32,000 teachers is being done.

The Chief Minister said that in the field of literature, there is no other name like national poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, so a university will be established in his name at Begusarai. In recognition of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee's services to the unity and integrity of the country, a resolution has been introduced to establish an AI and computer science university in his name at Bhagalpur. The university to be established in Bhagalpur will work in the field of technology. This university will connect Bihar to the rapidly growing technological revolution in the world. He thanked all the members of the assembly for supporting this proposal. The Chief Minister said that the work of establishing a university in the fields of architecture and civil engineering has also started in Muzaffarpur, which will be named after freedom fighter Shaheed Jabashni.

The Chief Minister, while referring to the Mandal Commission, said that the Mandal Commission report came in 1979, but it was not implemented for a long time. Later, the government of late Prime Minister Vishwanath Pratap Singh implemented it. It was supported by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and members of Parliament from allied parties. He said that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also provided 10% reservation for economically weaker sections.

The Chief Minister said that society cannot be limited to just one class. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and all other classes will have to move forward together. People from the Muslim society also get the benefit of reservation for economically weaker sections. There are a large number of people from different classes in the extremely backward communities, so the development policy will have to be taken forward by taking all classes together. Emphasizing the need to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", he said that saints have shown the path of social unity and humanity. The government is working in this direction.

During the program, a short film based on Sant Shri Ravidas Ji was also shown, highlighting the importance of his thoughts. On this occasion, public representatives welcomed the Chief Minister by presenting him with a shawl and a bouquet.

The program was attended by Minister of Mines and Geology Dr. Prem Kumar, Minister of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Welfare Lakhendra Kumar Roshan, Minister of Dairy, Fisheries, and Animal Resources Nandkishore Ram, Minister of Cooperation Ramkrishna Yadav, Minister of Revenue and Land Reforms Dr. Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, Minister of Labor Resources Shankar Singh, Minister of Education Mithilesh Tiwari, Minister of Tourism Kedar Prasad Gupta, Minister of Higher Education Sanjay Tiger, BJP organization's General Secretary Bhikhu Bhai Dalsania, MLA Sanjiv Chaurasia, MLA Ratnesh Kumar, Legislative Council member Jank Ram, Chairman of Dharmik Nyas Parishad Ranveer Nandan, and other public representatives, workers, saints, and a large number of common people.
