All must strive for nation's growth, says Kerala Governor
Arif Mohammed Khan, the Governor of Kerala, participated in an interactive session on the duties and responsibilities of citizens in nation-building in the city on Thursday.
Hyderabad: Arif Mohammed Khan, the Governor of Kerala, participated in an interactive session on the duties and responsibilities of citizens in nation-building in the city on Thursday. This was the first ever session which was hosted by Nawab Mir Nasir Ali Khan, MD, MAK Projects, as a step to create better consciousness among the citizens about their duties to build India as a great nation.
Arif Mohammed Khan mentioned that all citizens should contribute towards the country's growth and development. "We should work towards creating India as one of the most powerful developed nations of the world. We as responsible citizens need to take the initiative of contributing to the progress and welfare of the nation.
"This initiative is purely to involve the citizens of our country in nation-building. It is a campaign to involve our countrymen in taking initiative and responsibility towards the growth, development and welfare of our country. Each person can contribute as per one's potential which can be in the form of time, money, services individually or collectively. Building homes for poor, constructing toilets in rural areas, distributing food clothing and medicines to the needy and poor are a few such initiatives one can take individually or as a group."
Nation Building is the process to improve and sustain the social, economic, cultural and political welfare of the people. This can be measured by the provision of basic social amenities like qualitative education, effective and sufficient production of food, qualitative and affordable health services, effective communications system, good and efficient transportation system, steady and uninterrupted power supply along with improving other indices such as employment or jobs opportunities for the young population etc.
It is everyone's responsibility to contribute towards the building of Nation and its assets, said the Governor. Nawab Mir Nasir Ali Khan thanked the Governor of Kerala for accepting their invitation to come to Hyderabad and address the first session on 'Duties and Responsibilities of the Citizen in Nation Building,' inspiring all to take initiative to serve the country, based on one's capacity, and make a positive impact in its growth and development.
"This session is just the beginning. After Hyderabad, we would be conducting these sessions in other cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore. We have plans to make it a global movement and conduct such interactive sessions/ programmes, initially in Middle East and North America. Our next sessions would be held in Delhi and then in Dubai before the end of this year 2019. It is time for us to rise to the call of our nation and do our bit for our country and countrymen," added Nawab Mir Nasir Ali Khan.
