Uttarakhand: Amit Shah, CM Dhami attend 'Kalyan' magazine release ceremony

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami released the 100th issue of 'Kalyan' magazine in Rishikesh, emphasizing Sanatan culture.

"After Sardar Patel, India has got strong leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. - Swami Chidanand Saraswati"

Rishikesh, January 21

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday attended the release ceremony of the centenary issue of the monthly magazine 'Kalyan' which is published by Gita Press at Gita Bhawan in Rishikesh.

The Chief Minister was present alongside Union Home Minister Amit Shah at this historic occasion in Rishikesh.

Addressing the gathering during the release ceremony of the centenary edition of Kalyan, Dhami said, "a double-engine government dedicated to the protection of Sanatan values, culture, and traditions. The mandatory recitation of Gita shlokas in all schools of Uttarakhand is a powerful initiative to connect the new generation with its roots."

He further added that the state is no longer just a pilgrimage center but it is now emerging as the "Yoga Capital of the World".

"Rishikesh is no longer just a pilgrimage centre; it is now emerging on the global stage as the "Yoga Capital of the World." The cultural identity of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is reaching new heights, where tradition coexists with progress," he added.

Earlier today, reacting to Amit Shah's visit to the 'Kalyan' magazine release, Swami Chidanand Saraswati from Haridwar said that "India has got strong leadership" under PM Modi and Amit Shah.

"After Sardar Patel, India has got strong leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, who have transformed the country. Amit Shah is visiting Uttarakhand for a special occasion, the unveiling of the 100th edition of Kalyan," he said.

Shah is on a two-day tour of the state and will attend various programmes in Rishikesh today and in Haridwar tomorrow.

While I appreciate the focus on culture, I hope the "double-engine" government is equally focused on solving Uttarakhand's real issues like infrastructure, unemployment, and the environmental challenges in the hills. Development and tradition must go hand in hand.

Rishikesh as the Yoga Capital of the World is a fantastic vision! This kind of soft power projection puts India on the global map in a positive way. Jai Hind!

As someone who visits Rishikesh often, it's amazing to see its transformation. Blending spirituality with a modern global identity is the way forward. Congrats to Gita Press on 100 editions!

The comparison to Sardar Patel is apt. The current leadership has shown similar resolve in protecting national interests and unifying the country's cultural ethos. A strong message from Devbhoomi.

Mandatory recitation in schools is a bit much. Education should be about choice and critical thinking, not compulsory religious practices. We can teach values without making it mandatory.
