Gorakhpur. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar described Uttar Pradesh as an excellent state and praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the changes that have taken place here since 2017. He said that today under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has a qualitative contribution in the separate and strong identity of India in the world. Appealing to everyone to contribute in the ongoing campaign on the concept of ‘Developed India’ by 2047, he said that every person should sacrifice in the havan of developed India because whatever we can do for the country is less.
Vice President Dhankhar was addressing the inauguration ceremony of Sainik School in Gorakhpur on Saturday in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Vice President’s wife Dr. Sudesh Dhankhar was also present on this occasion. Referring to the changes in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Vice President said that after the year 2017, there has been qualitative growth in education, medicine, entrepreneurship and other fields in UP. Whereas before 2017, this state was in the grip of fear. Law and order was not good, the common man used to be troubled. Praising Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on many aspects, the Vice President said that Yogi ji has done a wonderful and miraculous work by completing Sainik School Gorakhpur in just three years. Although the echo of Yogi ji’s miraculous works is heard everywhere. It was difficult and unimaginable that Sainik School would be built and run in three years, but there was also faith that CM Yogi would do it.

Indianness is our identity, nation is our religion
Motivating the students of all schools including Sainik School and the general public, the Vice President said that Indianness is our identity and the nation is our religion.

Today’s India is not the same as it was ten years ago
The Vice President said that today’s India is not the same India as it was ten years ago. Rather, it is a strong India. Earlier, the country’s gold was mortgaged in Swiss banks, but today such is not the case, rather the country’s gold reserves are sufficient. In Kashmir, where no one was seen earlier, more than two crore tourists have been visiting for two-three years after the abolition of Article 370. The Constitution makers had made Article 370 temporary but some people considered it permanent.
Failure is the beginning of success
Vice President Dhankar explained to the students that they should never fear failure because failure is the starting point of success. He said that you should remove the fear of fear from your mind. If you fear, your talent will be frustrated. He said that the partial success of Chandrayaan 2 was the basis of the unprecedented success of Chandrayaan 3. Mentioning the importance of education, he said that education is the medium of change. Social evils can be eradicated only through education.

Vice President Dhankhar said that Purvanchal is an important part of Uttar Pradesh. The structure of the first Sainik School in this region is amazing.

By building a Sainik School in a short time and being the Chief Minister for the longest period, Yogi ji has broken the record of former CM Dr. Sampurnanand ji.
‘I got very emotional after receiving CM Yogi’s invitation’

He said that although everything about Yogi ji is extraordinary, Yogi ji’s invitation letter for Sainik School was also extraordinary. He invited me as an alumnus of Sainik School. Yogi ji has a sharp and discerning eye. He did as much homework on me to invite me as even my close relatives would not have done. The Vice President said that he is very emotional and happy to be at the inauguration ceremony of Sainik School. Today, the scene of six decades ago is coming alive in front of him when he himself was a student of Sainik School. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has done this unforgettable work for me.
The occasion of the inauguration of Sainik School Gorakhpur was a new chapter in life
