Helping Divyangs visualise self-reliance is PM Modis big contribution: Padma Shri Kanubhai Tailor
Digital Desk | Surat, Sep 17 (IANS) Padma Shri and noted social worker Kanubhai Hasmukhbhai Tailor on Thursday greeted the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday and credited him for instilling a new sense of belief and confidence among the specially-abled people towards achieving their own livelihood and also self-reliance. Wishing Prime Minister Narendra Modi a long life, the 72-year-old Kanubhai Tailor described him as a 'Krishna avatar.' He said that under PM Modi's leadership, the government and society have significantly changed their attitude towards disabled people, with the focus now shifting towards making them self-reliant rather than merely providing them with assistance. Kanubhai Tailor, speaking to IANS, said that before Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, most government and social assistance for disabled people was limited to food or financial aid. Prime Minister Modi changed this approach and emphasised making disabled people self-reliant through skills and employment. Kanubhai Hasmukhbhai said the idea should not be merely to give a disabled person a 'rotla' (bread), but to teach them how to make roti or bhakri (bread) so that they can earn a livelihood and support themselves and their families. He said this approach has boosted the self-confidence of disabled people and strengthened their dignity and respect in society. He said that in the past, a disabled child was often considered helpless or a burden on the family. Today, disabled people who earn through jobs or self-employment are contributing to their families' financial responsibilities. He cited this as an example of the change in self-respect among disabled people. He explained that the construction of an old-age home for disabled people in Bharuch, inaugurated on the occasion of Prime Minister Modi's birthday, is in its final stages, with around five per cent of the work remaining. Approximately Rs 28 crore has been spent on the project so far. He expressed hope that the old-age home would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Its foundation stone was laid by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. His aim is to create a centre where disabled elderly people can live with dignity and have access to essential facilities. The government is also conducting programmes to assist disabled elderly people who lack adequate food and care. There are plans to provide government assistance to approximately 200 disabled people. Kanubhai Tailor stated that on the Prime Minister's birthday, his organisation will provide wheelchairs to 76 disabled people. His school also provides meals to children, while several social events are being organised to mark the Prime Minister's birthday. He said disabled people should be freed from the predicament of begging on footpaths or living at railway stations and should instead be given opportunities to live a life of dignity and self-reliance. Kanubhai described the Prime Minister's policies as an effort in this direction. Expressing his personal feelings for the Prime Minister, Kanubhai Tailor said that although he has no political connection, in his 72 years of life, he has never seen a person as dedicated as PM Narendra Modi. He prayed to God that the Prime Minister would live a long life and continue serving the nation for many years. Kanubhai said that it is also society's responsibility to promote a mindset that fosters respect and self-confidence among disabled people. Referring to the Prime Minister's long public life, from Chief Minister of Gujarat to Prime Minister of the country, he said that the shift in policy thinking in the field of disability welfare is particularly important to him. He emphasised that efforts should continue to make disabled individuals capable and respected members of society rather than treating them as objects of pity.

HM Shah flags off Vadnagar to Varanasi bike yatra on PM Modis 76th birthday
Digital Desk | Vadnagar, Sep 17 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday flagged off the Vadnagar to Varanasi bike rally from Prime Minister Narendra Modis birthplace in Gujarat, launching a multi-state journey that will carry the message of his 25 years in public life to villages along the route. The rally was flagged off from Vadnagar as part of the Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', being organised from September 17 to October 17 to mark PM Modis 76th birthday and his 25 years in public life. A parallel Varanasi to Vadnagar ride was also flagged off from PM Modis parliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Addressing the gathering before the flag-off, HM Shah said the Vadnagar-Varanasi journey would connect PM Modis birthplace with his karmabhoomi and take the message of his work to people across the country. The Vadnagar leg will pass through seven states. Around 300 bikers would leave Vadnagar, while another 300 would travel from Varanasi, taking the total number of participants in the two groups to 600. The riders will cover villages along the route and highlight PM Modis 25 years of public service, he said. The Home Minister said the journey would begin from the premises of the Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Vadnagar and proceed towards Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi. The BJP had earlier announced that the two simultaneous journeys would culminate on October 7, the date on which PM Modi became Gujarat chief minister in 2001. The wider campaign has been planned as a nationwide outreach programme, with activities including service initiatives, public programmes and events highlighting PM Modis political journey. The bike campaign said the twin routes would together cover about 40,000 km, passing through 193 districts and 1,159 villages, with the wider network spanning 10 states. At the Vadnagar event, HM Shah said the purpose of the ride was to take account of PM Modis work beyond cities and reach people in villages. He said the campaign is also intended to familiarise younger generations with PM Modis political journey. Today is Modi jis birthday, but October 7 is the day on which he will complete 25 years as the chief minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country, Shah said. The flag-off followed a programme at Vadnagar that included a Maha Aarti at Sharmishtha Lake, a foot march and the launch of a cleanliness campaign. HM Shah had earlier offered prayers at the Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple and wished PM Modi a long and healthy life. The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan is being conducted across the country during the month-long period, with BJP units organising various public-service and outreach activities.

Leave your ego, tell us where the reservation file is: Aga Ruhullah to Omar Govt
Srinagar, Sept 17 : Srinagar Lok Sabha MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Thursday questioned the Jammu and Kashmir government over the delay in addressing the reservation issue, alleging that the administration was not serious about pursuing the matter. Speaking to reporters, Ruhullah said the issue had been discussed for nearly two years but the government had failed to show urgency in taking it forward. The reservation issue, which we have been talking about for the past two years, shows that despite so much being done, the government is not serious about it, he said. Ruhullah questioned the governments priorities, alleging that efforts were being made to pursue other matters in Delhi while the reservation file was not being followed with the same urgency. What you saw is the result of the reservation policy, he said, referring to the recent recruitment list. He claimed that the existing reservation policy could adversely affect employment opportunities for candidates from Kashmir, saying its impact would become more visible in the coming years. In the next five to 10 years, you will see Kashmiri-speaking officials in government offices, Ruhullah said. He also questioned the continued recruitment process while the reservation issue remained unresolved. Every day recruitments are coming out, every month and every year. On the basis of the reservation policy, Kashmiris are being pushed out of opportunities. Every day, their opportunities are ending and they are being denied equal rights, he said. Ruhullah asked the government to disclose the present status of the reservation file and urged it not to treat the matter as an issue of prestige. If the government makes this issue a matter of ego, then it will sacrifice their ego, he said. Leave your ego. Tell us where the reservation file is. If it is somewhere else and you don't have the courage to go there, then tell us where the file is, what is written in it, and hand over the file to us, the MP said. Ruhullah said he was ready to accompany students to pursue the matter if the government made the file and its contents available. I will go with the students myself. You can come behind me if you want, he said. Call the students, hand over the file to them, tell us what is written in it, so that I can go and find the file myself, he added.(KNS)
