Karnal, November 10 (Praveen Walia):- Haryana Legislative Assembly Speaker Harvinder Kalyan said that in Sanatan Dharma, Lord Vishwakarma is regarded as the world's first architect, craftsman and engineer. Today, there is a need to follow the guiding principles and rules established by him. He also called upon people to resolve to become role models within their families so that children could follow their example, become good citizens and contribute to the progress of society and the nation. He also inaugurated Vishwakarma Chowk in Gharaunda.
Mr. Kalyan was speaking as the chief guest at a programme organised at the Vishwakarma Temple in Gharaunda on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti. He extended greetings and best wishes to the people on Vishwakarma Day. He said that Lord Vishwakarma is also known as the engineer of the universe. He established certain guiding principles and rules to ensure the smooth functioning of creation, architecture and technical activities, which should be followed.
He said that there is a need to face new challenges today. Development achieved merely through bricks and stones is not enough. He called upon people to resolve to become role models in their families. If their own conduct is exemplary, children in the family will also follow their example. Today, it is important not only to connect children with culture and instil good values in them but also to develop in them the understanding that hard work is essential for success in life. He said that it has been observed that some young people hesitate to take up small jobs even after becoming educated. The Assembly Speaker said that no work is insignificant. Only those who work diligently move forward.
Citing the examples of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Constitution-maker Bhimrao Ambedkar, Mr. Kalyan said that all these eminent personalities came from poor families but achieved great heights through hard work and dedication. Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nation is progressing rapidly, and India's stature in the world has increased. He said that progress begins at the grassroots level, while the top leadership provides direction. For a strong society and nation, it is essential that every individual performs their duties honestly. He said that today's youth need to be protected from drug abuse. More and more trees must be planted to protect the environment, and attention must also be paid to cleanliness. He said that work undertaken in the interest of society is equivalent to a virtuous deed. Mr. Kalyan said that everyone must work together for the progress of the region and the bright future of children.
Thereafter, following the completion of renovation work, he inaugurated Lord Shri Vishwakarma Chowk. A large number of members of the Vishwakarma community were present on the occasion.
On this occasion, Municipal Committee Chairman Happy Lak Gupta, Vishwakarma Sabha patron Ramkishan Dhiman, Mandal President Rohit Bhandari and Kamal Kant Dhiman also expressed their views.
