Remembering Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh Ji & A Meaningful Initiative

On the sacred occasion of Shaheedi Diwas of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh Ji, I had the honour, as a Member of the Punjab State Food Commission, to conduct a special programme organized by the Commission.

In the gracious presence of Hon’ble Cabinet Minister (Tourism & Cultural Affairs) Sh. Tarunpreet Singh Sond, and under the leadership of Sh. Bal Mukand Sharma, Chairman PSFC, we paid heartfelt tribute to the great freedom fighter whose courage and sacrifice continue to inspire us all.

On this occasion, the Coffee Table Book of the Punjab State Food Commission was also released, highlighting the Commission’s work and achievements under the National Food Security Act, 2013.

The theatrical presentation “Main Bhagat Singh” beautifully showcased the life and ideals of the great martyr and deeply moved everyone present.

As a member of the Commission, it is a matter of pride for me that we are continuously working to ensure that the benefits of food security reach every deserving citizen.

I sincerely thank all the dignitaries and participants for making this event a success.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
