The Governor highlighted that celebrating the Statehood Days of other States under the vision of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat initiative has created a meaningful platform, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds in a celebration of India’s unity in diversity. It enables people to share their experiences, understand each other’s aspirations, and discuss the challenges faced by communities living away from their native states.
