Itanagar, Oct 1: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt General (Retd) KT Parnaik has extended his sincere greetings to the people of State on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti.
He expressed hope that the occasion will inspire all to embrace the timeless ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, who dedicated his life to the pursuit of truth, non-violence, and peace.
In a message here, the Governor said that the values Gandhiji championed remain profoundly relevant today. His principles of truth, non-violence, and peace transcend time and continue to guide us towards a better future. Gandhi’s vision for our nation, and his aspirations for a harmonious society, is as important now as ever. He inspired communities to honour the essence of humanity and motivated people to work towards the greater good.
The Governor said that Gandhiji considered ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’. It is essential that we all become more aware of our responsibility towards cleanliness and work collectively to keep our homes, neighbourhoods, and cities clean, hygienic, and sanitized.
“As a fitting tribute to the Father of our Nation, let us wholeheartedly engage in the ongoing nationwide cleanliness campaign,” he appealed.
“On this special occasion, let us unite to cultivate the habit of cleanliness in our children, so that it becomes a cherished tradition across India. Let us also pledge to follow the path of truth and non-violence, dedicating ourselves to achieving universal goodwill, tolerance, and harmony,” the Governor said in his message.
