Raksha Mantri pays tribute to Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar on his Jayanti
On the Jayanti of the legendary social reformer and educationist Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh paid heartfelt tribute, acknowledging his lasting contributions to Indian society. Taking to social media platform ‘X’, the Raksha Mantri lauded Shri Vidyasagar’s relentless pursuit of education and social justice.
Born in 1820, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, was a towering figure in India’s 19th-century social reform movement. A pioneer in the field of education, especially for women, he was instrumental in the passage of the Hindu Widows’ Remarriage Act and played a key role in modernizing Bengali prose.
Vidyasagar’s legacy of compassion, intellect, and progressive thought continues to resonate, serving as a beacon for generations committed to education, equality, and human dignity.
महान समाज सुधारक और शिक्षाविद ईश्वर चंद्र विद्यासागर जी की जयंती पर उन्हें कोटि-कोटि नमन। शिक्षा को समाज सुधार का सबसे बड़ा साधन मानने वाले विद्यासागर जी का जीवन राष्ट्रहित और मानव कल्याण के लिए समर्पित रहा, जो आज भी सभी को प्रेरणा प्रदान करता है।
