Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu today released two books 'Jalandhar Peeth Ka Rahasya' and 'Mushtarka Khata' written by Ajay Parashar, Director, Information and Public Relations, North East Council.

"Jalandhar Peeth Ka Rahasya" Very amazing information is available on the secrets of this Peeth. The need for such literature on this Peeth was also being felt very much. A lot of religious literature has been written but the lack of research-based religious literature is still felt. In this way, this book contributes a lot in this regard.

While appreciating the efforts of the author in compiling these books, the Chief Minister said that 'Jalandhar Peeth Ka Rahasya' will enlighten the readers about the historical and religious importance of various Peeths of Himachal Pradesh.

Ajay Parashar Sahib's second book 'Mushtarka Khata' contributes a lot. Actually this book is a collection of 16 short stories depicting various dimensions of everyday life, which will prove important in increasing the understanding of local culture and history. These stories introduce us to life through the pen, depicting various colors and dimensions of life.

Investigative writer Ajay Parashar thanked the Chief Minister for the release and encouragement. The areas also welcomed these books. .0.

Happiness among those living in child protection units, old age homes, Nari Seva Sadan, Shakti Sadan and special homes

The flight of poetry captures those moments which are not even in the fortune of everyone to see. Poetry reaches even those helpless people who have no one to listen to their sighs. Nowadays the days of festivals are going on. Remembering the lines of an unknown poet:

वो रोज रोज नहीं जलता साहब, 

मंदिर का दिया थोड़े ही है गरीब का चूल्हा है!

Wo Roz Roz Nahin Jalta Sahib, 

Mandir Ka Diya Thode hai, Greeb Ka Chulha Hai!

It doesn't burn everyday sir, the lamp of the temple is not enough, it is the poor's stove!

But in such a situation what to do when the festivals come? How to get rid of helplessness? What should one do if one's pocket is empty during the festival season? Realizing this pain, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has taken the essence of these people. The state government has reached out to these people so that their festivals do not fade away. 

Government provides Rs. 500 festive grant to residents of Model Children Home, Nari Seva Sadan and Institute for Children with Special Abilities.

After taking the oath as the Chief Minister the very day he visited Balika Ashram and directed officials to provide all the necessary facilities to the students of this Ashram.  After assuming the reins of state the present State Government with a target to serve the humanity and for the betterment of people has taken many ambitious steps which would ensure the development of weaker section of society and would also strengthen their economic condition.      

Secretary Social Justice and Empowerment M. Sudha Devi today here said that in compliance to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's announcement to provide Festive grant to all Child Care Institutions, Old Age Homes, Nari Seva Sadan, Shakti Sadan, Special Homes etc. during his visit to Model Children Homes, Nari Seva Sadan and Institute for Children with Special Abilities at Dhalli on Wednesday the Government has issued notification to provide Rs. 500 to each resident of these institutions during festivals as festive grant.
