Himachal Pradesh: TVS Motors contributes Rs one crore towards Chief Minister Relief Fund

TVS Motors donates Rs 1 crore to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Relief Fund as CM Sukhu appeals for more contributions to support disaster-affected communities.

"When there were no roads in the state, he laid an entire network of roads, transformed education, and brought power to the remotest regions. - CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu"

Shimla, October 15

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday was presented a cheque worth Rs 1 crore from YS Guleria of TVS Motors, as a contribution towards the Chief Minister's Relief Fund, according to an official release.

The Chief Minister thanked this noble gesture and said that such contributions went a long way in helping those in need.

He also urged philanthropists and affluent sections of society to contribute generously to this Fund.

Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan, MLA Hardeep Bawa, Prasad Krishnan, Y. Vasudev, Chaman Lal of TVS Motors and General Secretary Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh Industrialists Association Rajneesh Vij were also present on the occasion.

A day earlier, the CM presented a cheque of Rs 1.55 crore towards the 'Aapda Rahat Kosh' by Krishan Sharma, Chief General Manager of SBI Chandigarh Circle in Shimla, according to the Chief Minister's Office.

The Chief Minister expressed his gratitude for this noble gesture and appealed to the people to contribute generously to support those affected by disasters.

Chairman of the HP Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, Nardev Singh Kanwar, DGM SBI Himachal, Prabhat Kumar, and other distinguished dignitaries were also present on the occasion.

Earlier, in a ceremony at Shimla's Ridge Ground, CM Sukhu said development in Himachal Pradesh is a contribution of the Congress party and Virbhadra Singh.

"When there were no roads in the state, he laid an entire network of roads, transformed education, and brought power to the remotest regions. For him, power meant service, and we must carry forward this legacy," CM Sukhu said.

He recalled Indira Gandhi's role in Himachal's growth and added, "It was in 1971, here on this very Ridge Ground, that Indira Gandhi granted full statehood to Himachal Pradesh. Today, unveiling Virbhadra Singh's statue here symbolises the Congress party's long-standing commitment to the state's development."

While I appreciate the donation, I wish the CM had focused more on the relief work rather than making it a political event. Disaster relief should be above party politics. The people's welfare comes first!

Himachal has faced so many natural disasters recently. Every contribution counts! Kudos to TVS Motors and SBI for supporting the relief efforts. More corporates should come forward like this 💪

As someone who frequently visits Himachal, I'm glad to see corporate responsibility in action. The state's development journey from Virbhadra Singh's era to now is remarkable. Hope the relief reaches flood-affected families quickly!

Good initiative but transparency in fund utilization is crucial. Hope the government maintains proper records and shows how this money is helping people rebuild their lives after the disasters.

Corporate social responsibility at its best! TVS has always been a responsible Indian company. Hope other industrial giants in Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh area follow suit. The state needs all the help it can get after recent calamities.
