Dehradun, pkgnews24.com,Governor Lt Gen Gurmeet Singh (Secretary) addressed a program organized by IIMUN (India’s International Movement to Unite the Nations) organization in Kashipur through virtual medium from Raj Bhavan. The Governor said that more than 26000 youth are involved in this organization, which is working in 220 cities and 35 countries. Programs have been done by this organization in more than 7500 schools in which more than 01 crore students are involved. This organization is working specially on women empowerment for which it deserves congratulations.
The Governor said that in ancient India the status of women was equal to that of men in every sphere of life. We read about Apala, Gargi, Maitri and Lopamudra who were highly intelligent and visionary women who attended educational meetings. Lopamudra is credited with composing some verses in the Rigveda. He said that due to the invasion of foreigners in the medieval period and due to some evil practices there has been a decline in the status of women. This discrimination was mainly to deprive them of education. This led to the rise of several social reform movements in recent centuries, centered around women’s education.
The Governor said that our state has been a global example of women’s activism and their power. The Chipko movement led by Gaura Devi is one of the most prominent examples of women’s leadership. He said that after visiting many areas of Uttarakhand, he has seen the work of women in different walks of life. Which proves that women are the real backbone of Uttarakhand state. She is a strong and determined force working in various fields independently or through self help group. Today women are participating in every field be it manufacturing sector, supply chain, start up, artificial intelligence or smart engineering. He said that girls should get admission in Sainik Schools and they should be motivated for IAS, IPS and administrative services.
He said that for the last few years, due to COVID, we have got an opportunity to learn new techniques in which work from home by women was really a blessing for women. Through online working, they are taking new jobs and other jobs. The Governor said that all the leaders of the society will have to come forward to promote girl child education. Girls can achieve any goal of the world after getting educated

The silence of the Raj Bhavan on the forest fire is scorching the state – Front # So far more than 1000 hectares of forest have been destroyed in the state. #Wildlife-animals are also in the grasp of time. #Govt remains careless. #Govt should use helicopter to extinguish the fire. Vikasnagar-Jan Sangharsh Morcha President and former Vice President of GMVN Raghunath Singh Negi said that the precious forests (forest wealth) of the state are burning with fire and wild life has become a waste of time, but Raj Bhavan is watching the spectacle in silence. Negi said that before the forest fire, the government should have done homework on its measures, but the government did not have the time. * The way the forest fire has assumed a formidable form, the Raj Bhavan should immediately direct the government to use helicopters to douse the fire. While on paper, 1472 crew stations and 246 watch towers have been established by the government under all the forest divisions of the state and many other arrangements have also been made, but those arrangements are insufficient. In the year 2018, maximum 4480.036 hectares of forest were destroyed.
Negi tauntingly said that the Forest Minister owes such a great deal to the people of the state that sitting in Mumbai is reviewing and saying that I will also go to the forest to extinguish the fire, like Harak Singh Rawat ji did during his tenure. Was extinguished by taking the media along! In the press conference- Vijay Ram Sharma, Dilbag Singh, Amit Jain and Mukesh Pasbola were present.
