During the function, the Chief Minister and Union Minister of State for Communications Devusinh Chauhan,who was the special guest of the event, also released and unveiled the Commemorative postage stamp. Manohar Lal said that the present state government has worked to promote the lives and teachings of those great saints and leaders who had awakened and influenced the society through their noval ideas and thoughts under the Sant Mahapurush Samman and Vichar Prasar Yojana . In the past, the leaders used to propagate the names of their ancestors or forefathers and made memorials in their names. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of always remembering and respecting our martyrs. He said that our nation will always be indebted and grateful to our brave soldiers and patriots who sacrificed their lives to protect the country, unity, and integrity. The Chief Minister said that Samrat Hemchandra Vikramaditya was coronated in Delhi on October 7, 1556. Even though he ruled for a short period, his influential persona during centuries of Islamic empires is an important chapter in Indian history. In the village of Saundapur near Panipat, his statue still stands. Such great personalities are not only our invaluable heritage but also a source of inspiration for future generations. It is our responsibility to preserve and protect their legacy. Therefore, through the Sant Mahapurush Samman and Vichar Prasar Yojana, we are working to bring the messages of saints and great personalities to the masses, so that the younger generation can be inspired by their lives and guidance, said Manohar Lal.
