A Developed India: A Collective Resolution of 1.4 Billion Citizens

The Brahma Kumaris are actively working for world peace and welfare through Rajyoga. He noted that the commitment to a developed India is driven by the spirit of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.' The G20 summit in India conveyed the message of 'One Earth, One Family, One Future' to the world.

The government is also continuously working for the welfare of cattle and their caretakers.
Rivers, mountains, and trees are sacred to us.
The Chief Minister emphasized that our culture embodies the sentiment of 'Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah,' wishing well for all living beings, nature, and the environment. Our culture perceives divinity in all beings and sees rivers like the Ganga and Yamuna as mothers, and mountains like Abu and Giriraj as deities, while trees like Khejri and Peepal are revered. He stressed the need to adopt this broad perspective and sensitivity towards nature for global welfare.
Improved Connectivity with Airstrip Development in Abu Road
