Collective participation essential to realizing vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047: HP Governor

Jammu, Oct 18 (UNI) Governor of Himachal Pradesh, Kavinder Gupta, today said India’s rich civilisational heritage has always placed humanity, service and collective welfare at the centre of its spiritual traditions.
Speaking at the Samagam of Jagadguru Mahabrahmarshi Shri Kumar Swami Ji in Jammu, he described India’s spiritual and cultural traditions as a timeless source of inner peace, social harmony and national consciousness.
The Governor said that the presence and guidance of saints and spiritual leaders provide society with an important source of inspiration, reminding people of the values of compassion, service, harmony, discipline and devotion to the nation.
“Our culture and civilization are not merely a legacy of the past; they are a living responsibility that we must preserve, strengthen and pass on to the coming generations,” he said.
He said that India is progressing rapidly under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a clear national resolve to build a developed, self-reliant and strong India by 2047.
He said the vision of Viksit Bharat can be realized only through the collective participation and contribution of every citizen.
He emphasized that development must go hand-in-hand with the preservation of India’s cultural identity, traditions, values and civilisational ethos.
He said that while embracing modernity and pursuing progress, the nation must remain firmly rooted in its cultural heritage and spiritual traditions.
He stressed the need to preserve and pass on India’s rich cultural legacy, moral values, traditional wisdom and civilisational ethos to future generations, ensuring that the country’s progress remains firmly anchored in its timeless values.
The Governor also expressed concern over attempts by certain elements to create divisions in society and weaken the age-old bonds of communal harmony and brotherhood.
He urged people to remain vigilant against forces that seek to create mistrust and discord among communities.
“India has been strengthened by its spirit of unity in diversity. We must not allow anyone to create a wedge between communities or disturb the social harmony that has been nurtured over centuries,” he said, calling upon citizens to reject hatred, misinformation and divisive tendencies.
