Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday announced a ₹21 lakh grant for constructing a welcome gate and library for children in the name of Jagat Guru Brahmanand Saraswati on the occasion of his birth anniversary at Chuhar Majra village in Kaithal. The function was presided over by speaker Harvinder Kalyan.
Announcing the renaming of Chuhar Majra village as Brahmanand Majra, CM Saini said that Jagat Guru was a guide for humanity and his entire life was devoted to human service, religion, sacrifice and nation-building.
Addressing the state-level ceremony, Saini said that Guruji was born in 1908 in the village of Kaithal district in a humble Ror family and grew a deep faith in the Arya Samaj.
“His life inspires us to protect and promote our great Indian culture, civilisation and moral values. Youth should imbibe Guru’s teachings in their lives and stay away from social evils like drug addiction,” the CM said, adding that the Dhand–Pundri main road will be named as Guru Brahmanand Marg besides announcing a grant of ₹51 lakh for development works.
Deputy speaker Dr Krishan Lal Middha, cabinet ministers Ranbir Gangwa, Mahipal Dhanda and Rao Narbir Singh, Kurukshetra MP Naveen Jindal and MLAs from the region were also present on the occasion.
