It is mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib –“sevak ko seva bun aayee”, which is, the work of a sevak, is to serve. Mr. Modi said, awareness beget spiritedness. He recalled the efforts of Virendra Yadav of Kaithal, Haryana, a NRI farmer-entrepreneur, who has influenced the lives of thousands through his awareness. The stubble in his fields was a big concern for him too. To find a solution for the stubble, Virendra ji bought a Straw Baler machine to make bundles of straw. For this, he also received financial assistance from the Agricultural department. With this machine, he began to make bundles of stubble. After having made the bundles, he sold the stubble to agro energy plants and paper mills. In just two years, Virendra ji has traded in stubble in excess of Rupees 2.5 Crores and has earned a profit of approximately Rupees Fifty Lakhs. The benefit of this also accrues to the farmers of those fields from where Virendra ji sources his stubble.
Prime Minister said, it has been roughly one year since the world came to know of the first case of Corona. Since then, the entire world has seen several ups and downs. Coming out of the lockdown now the discussion on a vaccine has commenced, however, any sort of negligence regarding Corona can be deadly even now. We have to firmly keep fighting against Corona.
Prime Minister said, our homage to Baba Saheb Ambedkar, would be to reaffirm our resolve to the country and abiding by the duties, assigned to us by the Constitution as an individual. Mr. Modi said, as the year 2020 is drawing to a close, there should be new hope and faith and we should keep moving forward.
