Jammu, 20 February 2026: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha on Friday offered a threefold resolution for the future: “We must transform India into the preeminent nation of the world, forge it into the most formidable global power, and establish it as the ultimate sanctuary of knowledge and intellectual wealth on Earth”.
The Lieutenant Governor emphasised that every citizen must honor the glorious heritage with full responsibility. He said that the devotion that preserved our culture through adversity must now drive the new generation- turning the wisdom of the past into the strength of the present, lighting the way forward.
The Lieutenant Governor was speaking during a public function at the sacred and historic site of Bankatashiv in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, where he joined the devotees for the Mahayagya and Prana-Pratishtha ceremony at Shri Lakshminarayan Temple.
The Lieutenant Governor stated that the sacred ceremony marks a civilizational revival, revitalizing timeless values and sharing them across society.
“Shri Lakshmi Narayan Temple will inspire the youth to stand proudly resolute in their glorious past and awaken them to an extraordinary present that bears witness to sweeping transformations across all spheres of development,” he said.
The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India today is not merely scripting a tale of economic progress but also witnessing civilizational awakening.
He said the entire world now acknowledges that India has firmly established as an emerging global power through inclusive growth, technology growth and world-class infrastructure.
“We have reached an era where fresh energy surges in every direction of progress, while a remarkable renaissance of spiritual and cultural consciousness takes shape.
The India that will stand tall as a developed nation by 2047- will be driven by economic aspirations and it will also be an India that is spiritually enriched, culturally self-assured, and fully awakened to its true identity,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
