Member of Parliament and former Chief Minister of Tripura, Biplab Kumar Deb, recently inaugurated the Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Auditorium at Shrimati Brahmadevi Saraswati Balika Vidyamandir Higher Secondary School in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh. The school, operating under the ideological guidance of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is known for its dedication to empowering girls through education and holistic development.
The institution currently serves as a nurturing environment for around 100 girls from the northeastern region of India, including approximately 25 tribal students from Tripura.
A School with a Vision
The institution currently serves as a nurturing environment for around 100 girls from the northeastern region of India, including approximately 25 tribal students from Tripura. The school’s mission aligns with the RSS’s broader goal of promoting education and social welfare, particularly among marginalized and tribal communities.
Besides formal academic education, the school’s curriculum also includes various initiatives aimed at developing practical skills and fostering a sense of social responsibility among the students. These initiatives are designed to empower young girls, enabling them to become confident and capable members of society.
During his inaugural speech, Biplab Kumar Deb praised the efforts of the school and the RSS for their commitment to the cause of women’s education, particularly for students from remote and tribal regions. He emphasized that the school’s dedication to providing quality education is instrumental in shaping future leaders from diverse backgrounds.
Focus on Women’s Empowerment
Addressing the audience, Deb highlighted the ongoing efforts of the Tripura government to uplift women through substantial and meaningful policies. He took the opportunity to criticize the previous communist governments in the state, accusing them of politicizing the concept of women’s empowerment without implementing tangible initiatives.
He stated that since the new government took charge in 2018, significant strides have been made to promote women’s participation in governance and public life. One notable reform has been the introduction of 33% reservation for women in all recruitment processes within the state. This reservation policy has opened new avenues for women, enabling them to secure positions in various sectors and thereby enhancing their socio-economic status.
Deb remarked that women’s empowerment under the current administration is not just a political slogan but a comprehensive policy approach aimed at achieving gender equality. By ensuring women’s representation and providing equal opportunities, the government is fostering a more inclusive and progressive society.
Lauding PM Modi’s Firm Stand on Terrorism
During his address, Deb also expressed his unwavering support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisive action in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack. He described the government’s stance as bold and unwavering, emphasizing that it reflects India’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens against terror threats.
Deb pointed out that the Pahalgam attack, which tragically claimed the lives of several civilians, was met with a robust and calculated response under the leadership of PM Modi. He praised the government’s commitment to maintaining national security and its resolve in dealing with terrorism decisively.
Interaction with Tribal Students from Tripura
Following the event, Deb took time to interact with the tribal students from Tripura who are currently pursuing their education at the institution. The students, who belong to various tribal communities from northeastern India, shared their experiences and aspirations with the former Chief Minister.
Deb inquired about their academic progress and encouraged them to make the most of the opportunities provided by the school. He expressed his appreciation for their perseverance and determination to pursue education despite coming from remote areas. He assured them of continued support from the government and urged them to focus on their studies and build successful futures.
A Symbol of Cultural Unity
The inauguration of the Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Auditorium signifies not just the enhancement of the school’s infrastructure but also symbolizes the cultural integration between northeastern India and Uttar Pradesh. The event underscored the importance of providing equal educational opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds, fostering a sense of unity and mutual respect.
Biplab Kumar Deb’s involvement in the event highlights his commitment to education, women’s empowerment, and the welfare of tribal communities. By addressing both local and national issues, he reaffirmed his dedication to progressive governance and social upliftment.
As the auditorium becomes a vibrant space for educational and cultural activities, it will continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration for young girls striving to overcome challenges and realize their dreams.
