CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the central government is continuously working towards building a self-reliant nation. Today, destructive forces like terrorism and Naxalism are not daring to raise their heads in the country. It is a result of your tireless efforts that today the country is making unprecedented progress in the field of cooperation, which is creating a strong institutional framework for overall development. Gita Press has been making an unparalleled contribution to the preservation and promotion of our Sanatan culture, scriptures, and Indian knowledge tradition for the last hundred years. In ancient India, when foreign powers were creating ideological confusion and misleading society, the Gita Press family did the historical work of awakening the Indian public by publishing our great Sanatani scriptures like Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Ramcharitmanas, Upanishads, Puranas, etc., in their pure and authentic form at a nominal price.
Since its establishment in 1923, Gita Press has published more than one hundred and one crore religious books, not only preserving our culture and knowledge tradition. It is a matter of pride for all of us that the centenary issue of Kalyan magazine, started by Gita Press, was released by the Home Minister today. Kalyan magazine has not only been instrumental in instilling spiritual consciousness and Indian values within us for the past hundred years, but it has also made a significant contribution to the development of morality, ethics, and cultural awareness. Chief Minister Dhami said that our state government is continuously working to establish Devbhoomi Uttarakhand as the spiritual capital of the country. We are also striving to safeguard cultural values and democracy in the state.
