Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the Almighty has granted us this body to perform good deeds, and when our actions align with righteousness, the welfare of society naturally follows. He praised the Rotary Club for its wholehearted service in this direction and for guiding society toward noble values, calling its work truly inspirational.
CM Dr. Yadav was speaking on Sunday at the Rotary International Awards Ceremony held in Sanskardhani, Jabalpur. During the program, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav honored Rotarians Arun Kant Agrawal and Sandeep Jain, who received the Rotary International Award. On this occasion, the Chief Minister was also conferred honorary membership of the Rotary Club.
Jabalpur Blessed by the Grace of Maa Narmada
The Chief Minister said that the sacred River Narmada originates in Amarkantak and merges into the ocean, showering Jabalpur with divine blessings. It is because of this divine grace that Jabalpur came to be known as Sanskardhani, the city of values and culture. CM Dr. Yadav remarked that it is by Maa Narmada’s blessing that the black stone of Jabalpur transforms into shining marble, a miracle unique to this region. He said that because of these blessings, Sanskardhani Jabalpur has given birth to many noble sons and daughters who have served society selflessly and brought glory to the city at the international level through the Rotary movement. He said that the dedication and service spirit shown by award recipients Arun Kant Agrawal and Sandeep Jain are exemplary and deeply inspiring.
Service to Humanity as the Supreme Religion
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that the government is committed to public welfare with a spirit of social responsibility and that this mission aligns with the Rotary philosophy of service. For over 120 years, Rotary International has demonstrated through its actions the timeless truth that ‘Service to humanity is service to God’. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, congratulating Rotary Club Jabalpur on receiving the District Excellence Award, expressed confidence that the Organization will continue to advance in the field of humanitarian service with the same zeal and dedication.
Rotary’s Selfless Service Brings Pride to Jabalpur
Public Works Minister Shri Rakesh Singh said that the Rotary Club has been implementing numerous community projects with pure selfless intent. It is a moment of great pride for Jabalpur that two Rotarians from the city have been recognized at the international level.
Rotarian Arun Kant Agrawal has been selected for the ‘Service above Self Award’. Only 118 Rotarians worldwide were chosen for this recognition. Similarly, non-Rotarian Sandeep Jain was honored with the Global Award for Excellence in Service to Humanity, an award bestowed upon only 39 individuals globally this year. The minister said it is a matter of immense pride that two social contributors from Sanskardhani Jabalpur have received these international honors.
The ceremony was graced by Rajya Sabha MP Shri Vivek Tankha, Smt. Sumitra Valmiki, program coordinator Dr. Jitendra Jamdar, MLAs Shri Akhilesh Pandey, Santosh Varkade, Akhilesh Jain and members of the Rotary family, among others.
