    Swyamsewak Se Mukhaysewak Tak: Living document of Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s struggle and dedication

    New Delhi: This book unfolds the slow and intensely watchful journey of a yearning doctor who never aspired to be a politician. However, the unprecedented circumstances land him on a path unexplored yet meant for him. The esteemed Manohar Lal Khattar had never aspired to be a politician, but he had always been a guiding force in devising strategies for election campaigns. The journey from off stage to contesting assembly elections and eventually becoming chief minister has been phenomenal. Manohar Lal’s success as a non-Jat chief minister in a Jat-majority state came as something of a surprise in Haryana politics. Even by contrast, a segment of the media has been antagonistic to rightwing chief ministers like Manohar Lal. In such a case, this book both critically analyses Manohar Lal and thoroughly discusses his virtues.
    The book is a biblical narrative encompassed in six sections, wherein each individual section is a fascinating brief of the legendry untold events of the life of chief minister. This book has six chapters and is just 172 pages long. The first part of the book tells the progressive narrative of Chief Minister Manohar Lal from his childhood to being an organisation minister, while the second chapter tells the inner story till he became chief minister and the author’s own recollections from that period.
    The third part evaluates the government’s performance, while the fourth chapter investigates the Chief Minister’s motto “Haryana Ek, Haryanavi Ek.”The fifth chapter chronicles the discourse of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ascent in Haryana. Finally the sixth and last chapter has many wonderful accounts surrounding Khattar Kaka.
    Being a TV journalist, the writer had an opportunity to witness closely the journey of CM Manohar Lal allowing him to personally observe CM Manohar Lal’s political journey. This adds to the authenticity of the book. The book tells the unseen narrative of Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s personal and political life in a very engaging way, with the inner story of becoming Chief Minister being its main selling feature. This book is a live chronicle of Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s effort and commitment.

Also available on iTunes, Jio Saavn and Amazon Music.

    Amogh …the journey begins

    Prodigies are born to delight the world with their talent. One in a few million children only qualify as a prodigy. Amogh is one such prodigy.

    At the age of 2.5 years, Amogh started his musical journey by participating in school functions. His rendition of ‘Chanda chamke chum chum’ from movie Fannah, won him a standing ovation. That’s another thing that he had to climb in the lap of the teacher to be visible to some 800 audience members in the hall.

    Amogh has not looked back ever since. Winning one award after another, Amogh was the permanent medal winner for his school in Jalandhar. He has represented his school JP Public School, Greater Noida in many competitions.  Resident of ATS-Pristine, Noida, Amogh is a State-level badminton player and also excels in studies.

    Despite being in and out of hospitals for 7 years, he kept on practicing on his own so that his original style was not cramped or compromised. Maybe that’s why, with hundreds of hours of practice, Amogh’s voice texture is uniquely unmatched.  His style is a manifestation of feelings and melodies that come straight from heart. Instead of focusing on nuances, Amogh style is free flow, care free – Dil se, that strikes a chord with the heart directly.

    Amogh KHUDA has already won recognition from industry with invitations from multiple music houses as well as some noted music directors. Amogh shall be on many FM radio stations in next couple of days.

    His second music video, a fast foot tapping number, expected to be released this month, will surely have listeners grooving and yearning for more.

    Addressing trainees of various vocational courses at Swarna Bharat Trust, Vijayawada, he asked them to dream big and work with discipline and dedication in a systematic manner to achieve their goals.

He said that a separate Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has been established to achieve the vision of ‘Skilled India’.

    Emphasising the need to protect and preserve Indian culture, Shri Naidu advised youth to return to their roots. Suggesting them to shun junk food and eat a healthy diet, he said it was equally important to undertake regular physical activity like yoga to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    Chairman of Swarna Bharat Trust, Dr. Kamineni Srinivas and others were present on the occasion.

  • PM Modi addresses post-budget webinar on vision of ‘GatiShakti’

    New Delhi:  The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi addressed a webinar on the vision of GatiShakti and its convergence with Union Budget 2022, today. This is sixth webinar in the series of post budget webinars addressed by the Prime Minister.

    The Prime Minister said that this year’s budget has set the pace (Gatishakti) of India’s development in 21st century . This direction  of ‘Infrastructure-based development’ will lead to extraordinary increase in the strength of our economy, creating many new possibilities of employment, he said.

    The Prime Minister, underlined the lack of coordination among the stakeholders in the traditional ways of completing projects. This was due to lack of clear information among the various concerned departments. “Due to PM Gatishakti, now everyone will be able to make their plan with complete information. This will also lead to optimum utilization of the country’s resources”, he added.

    The Prime Minister stressed the need of PM Gatishakti by emphasizing the scale at which the government is undertaking infrastructure development. “In the year 2013-14, the direct capital expenditure of the Government of India was about two and a half lakh crore rupees, which has increased to seven and a half lakh crore rupees in the year 2022-23”, the Prime Minister informed. “Infrastructure Planning, Implementation and Monitoring will get a new direction from PM Gati-Shakti. This will also bring down the time and cost overrun of the projects”, he added.

    Shri Modi said “Strengthening the principle of cooperative federalism, our government has made a provision of one lakh crore rupees for the assistance of the states in this year’s budget. State governments will be able to use this amount on multimodal infrastructure and other productive assets.” He mentioned National Ropeway Development Programme to improve connectivity in the inaccessible hilly areas and Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North-East (PM-DevINE) in this regard. Mentioning PLI initiative, the Prime Minister called upon the private sector to invest I the infrastructure of the country.

    The Prime Minister informed that in PM Gati-Shakti National Master Plan, more than 400 data layers are available now, informing not just the existing and proposed infrastructure but also information about the forest land and available industrial estate. He suggested that the private sector should use it more and more for their planning and all important information regarding the National Master Plan is now available on the single platform. “Due to which it will be possible to get project alignment and various types of clearances at the DPR stage itself. This will also be helpful in reducing your Compliance Burden”, he said. The Prime Minister also asked the state government’s to make PM Gati-Shakti National Master Plan base for their projects and Economic Zones.

    The Prime Minister commented that “even today, the Logistic Cost in India is considered to be 13 to 14 percent of GDP. This is more than other countries. PM Gati-Shakti has a huge role in improving infrastructure efficiency”. The Prime Minister talked about Unified Logistic Interface Platform- ULIP provided in this budget and which is being adapted by the various government departments as per their needs, leading to reduced logistics cost. “24 Digital Systems of 6 Ministries are being integrated through ULIP. This will create a National Single Window Logistics Portal which will help in reducing the logistics cost”, he added.

    The Prime Minister informed about the steps like Logistics Division in every department and Empowered Group of Secretaries for logistics efficiency through better coordination. “Our Exports will also be greatly helped by PM Gati-Shakti, our MSMEs will be able to be Globally Competitive”, he added.

    The Prime Minister said that Gati-Shakti will ensure true public-private partnership in infrastructure creation from infrastructure planning to development and utilization stage. “In this webinar, there should also be a brainstorming on how the private sector can achieve better outcomes in collaboration with the government system”, Shri Modi said.
