Children are the future of the country and an invaluable asset to the nation: Keshav Prasad Maurya
The Deputy Chief Minister stated that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that every child has access to quality education, better healthcare, a safe environment, and equal opportunities to progress. Beyond academic knowledge, it is essential to instill in children moral values, cultural ethos, a scientific temper, technical knowledge, and a sense of social responsibility.
He noted that under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, both the central and state governments are working continuously toward the holistic development of children, the improvement of educational quality, and the creation of a brighter future for them. Shri Maurya urged parents, teachers, and all sections of society to identify and encourage children's talents, and to support them in realizing their dreams. He expressed confidence that today’s well-nurtured, educated, and technically proficient children will play a pivotal role in building a self-reliant India and a developed Uttar Pradesh—empowering them to face the challenges of changing times and contribute effectively to the development of society and the nation. The Deputy Chief Minister emphasized that, under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the 'double-engine' government is consistently working toward the education, health, safety, and holistic development of children. Through initiatives like the New Education Policy, digital education, technical knowledge, and skill development, opportunities for a better future are being created for them.
