The 15-day residential training camp organized by the Rashtra Sevika Samiti, Jharkhand Province, concluded with a grand closing ceremony at the Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir, Dhurwa, Ranchi. The chief speaker at the closing ceremony, Akhil Bharatiya Sah Karyavahika Chitra Tai Joshi, emphasized that Bharat Mata is the life force of the nation, fulfilling all physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs. She urged everyone to dedicate every moment and action of their lives to Bharat Mata.
Remembering the 300th birth anniversary of Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar, she praised Ahilyabai as a revered queen in Indian history who set an unparalleled example of service, righteousness, and just governance. Ahilyabai’s renovation of sacred sites like Kashi Vishwanath, Prayagraj, Rameshwaram, Somnath, and Mathura revived the nation’s cultural soul. Her initiatives for women’s safety, respect, and self-reliance are deeply inspiring for today’s generation. Paying tribute to the sacrifice of Rani Durgavati, Chitra Tai highlighted how Rani Durgavati bravely fought against foreign invaders, sacrificing her life to protect her motherland. Her life is an immortal symbol of the courage, self-respect, and patriotism of women, and we must draw inspiration from her ideals to serve the nation.
Chief Guest Nirmal Kaur, a retired Director General of Police, lauded the discipline, energy, and service spirit of the Sevika’s, stating that such camps provide the nation with dedicated, character-driven, and patriotic citizens. The event was attended by over 2000 people from various sectors of society, including educational institutions, social organizations, intellectuals, women’s organizations, and the general public.
In the camp, 225 Sevika sisters from 20 districts of Jharkhand participated. The aim of the camp was to develop discipline, physical fitness, patriotism, and cultural values in young women.
