Chandigarh, May 17 \u2013 Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini announced that a Study Centre and a Chair in the name of Maharana Pratap will be established at Kurukshetra University. Besides this, the name of the Government Women\u2019s College located at Baragadh in Shahzadpur will be changed to Maharani Padmavati Government College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister made these announcements on Sunday at the state-level function organized at Shahzadpur in Ambala under the \u201cSant-Mahapurush Samman Evam Vichar Prasar Yojana\u201d on the occasion of Maharana Pratap Jayanti. He also announced Rs. 5 crore for various development works in the Naraingarh Assembly constituency, Rs. 31 lakh for the construction work of the Rajput Hostel and construction of a pucca drain in Shahzadpur. Earlier, the Chief Minister also unveiled the renovated statue of Maharana Pratap. Governor of Mizoram General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh specially attended the function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that Maharana Pratap was such a great warrior that merely taking his name fills every heart with a wave of patriotism. He said Maharana Pratap was born in the Rajput community at a time when Indian society was overshadowed by injustice and oppression and efforts were being made to destroy our glorious culture and hurt religious sentiments. He inherited bravery and valour from Maharana Kumbha and Rana Sanga and after assuming power in Mewar, set unparalleled examples of courage, valour and heroism. His horse \u2018Chetak\u2019 and elephant \u2018Ramprasad\u2019 were also extraordinary like him and set examples of sacrifice for the protection of the nation, religion and honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister said that when Maharana Pratap assumed power in Mewar, half of Mewar had already come under Mughal rule. To liberate his birthplace and karmabhoomi from the Mughals, Maharana Pratap spent nearly 20 years in forests. He accepted eating grass rotis but never accepted defeat. He said Maharana Pratap was born in the brave Rajput community. Rajput is not a symbol of a caste, but a symbol of justice and truth. This community has given great rulers to the country. The community holds a leading place among those who sacrificed for the honour, pride and dignity of the nation during India\u2019s freedom struggle and after Independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister said that the life of Maharana Pratap gives us the message that as long as self-respect remains alive, our soul remains alive. His principles of not allowing any harm to come to the country\u2019s civilization and culture continue to guide us even today. Inspired by his bravery, our armed forces have defeated enemies many times in wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that recently we observed the anniversary of Operation Sindoor. A year ago, under the capable leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, our armed forces taught a lesson to the terrorists who killed unarmed civilians in Pahalgam. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the country is today emerging as a strong India and the strength of India is being acknowledged across the world. This is the same strong India envisioned by great personalities like Maharana Pratap. The heroic tales of Maharana Pratap are the pride of our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor of Mizoram General (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Singh said that the life of Maharana Pratap should be an inspiration for every Indian. We should learn from his life that we should never forget our heritage, culture and religion. Maharana Pratap always gave priority to the welfare of the people and never cared for his own comfort or welfare. Only by following his ideals can society, the state and the country progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the style of warfare through which Maharana Pratap defeated the Mughals was later adopted by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Maharana Pratap\u2019s war strategy was unparalleled and teaches us that no task should ever be carried out impulsively; rather, if every task is done thoughtfully and carefully, victory will always be yours. Just as Maharana Pratap never forgot his duty and dharma despite hardships, we too should learn to struggle and fight against difficulties. To take Haryana forward, we should draw inspiration from his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agriculture and Farmers\u2019 Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana, who presided over the function, elaborated on the bravery, valour and sacrifice of Maharana Pratap, his horse and elephant and highlighted the struggles and incidents related to the Battle of Haldighati. He said Maharana Pratap was a true warrior. Along with Maharana Pratap, the previous 12 generations before him also made sacrifices for the country. His birth anniversary is being celebrated with full devotion and faith in different parts of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
