Varanasi, Oct. 7 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday said the Sanatan Dharma alone can ensure peace, harmony, and the welfare of all, urging citizens to embrace it. In order to preserve Sanatan Dharma, Sanskrit must once again become a living medium of expression, he further said. The chief minister made the remarks at a programme where he distributed laptops and sewing machines to students at Shri Annapurna Rishikul Brahmacharya Ashram and personally honoured several children. He also planted saplings and fed fodder, jaggery, and fruits to cows. Extending his best wishes to the students, CM Yogi said this gift ahead of Diwali is a blessing from Maa Annapurna. He reminded them that while computers are valuable tools for learning, they can also be sources of distraction, and advised the students to use technology in a positive way to gain knowledge that leads to a brighter life. Praising the Sanskrit students, the chief minister said they are not only preserving India's cultural and spiritual heritage but also advancing in the modern knowledge of computers. He encouraged them to learn science, mathematics, and English, noting that many religious leaders and Sanskrit scholars are now serving in the armed forces, paramilitary, and police. He expressed confidence that Sanskrit will one day become the universal language of unity, saying, "No one can survive without Sanskrit." Highlighting the government's efforts to promote Sanskrit education, the CM said previously, no scholarships were available for Sanskrit students; however, under the current government, scholarships are being provided to every student pursuing the subject. He added that the state will soon arrange government grants for accommodation and meals for Sanskrit students, and introduce special scholarships for advanced research and specialized studies. The event marked the 108th anniversary of the institution's establishment. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, CM Yogi said, "The Prime Minister has placed women's dignity at the heart of national development through initiatives like 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao'." He highlighted that under PM Modi's vision, 12 crore households have received toilets, four crore families have been provided homes nationwide, including 60 lakh in Uttar Pradesh and 10 crore women have received free LPG connections. After agriculture, the textile industry has the greatest employment potential globally, with readymade garments in high demand worldwide, he said. The PM Mitra Park in Lucknow, spanning 1,100 acres, will provide a unified platform for all textile-related activities. He praised Annapurna Math's efforts in preparing children through the Vedas, promoting social work....
