Guv felicitates Siwan girl & Munger youth

PATNA: Governor Phagu Chauhan on Friday felicitated 23-year-old Priyanka Pandey of Siwan and Jayaram Viplav of Munger at a function held at Raj Bhavan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his ‘Mann ki Baat’ speech on January 31, had made reference to their commendable works.

Priyanka had mentioned on NaMo App that taking a cue from the PM’s address, she had visited the parental house of India’s first President Rajendra Prasad at Ziradei on January 1. That visit created a lasting impression on her mind and aroused a patriotic feeling in her.

Modi had also referred to the writing of Jayaram about the celebration of ‘Tarapur Martyrs’ Day (January 15, 1932) in memory of the freedom fighters of Tarapur who had lost their lives while fighting for national freedom. The PM had praised both of them for their patriotic feelings.

The governor presented a statue of Buddha and a piece of Madhubani painting to them. He said the youths of the state should take an inspiration from the two and help create patriotic fervour in the society.
