IMPHAL, April 8: Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Tuesday presided over the 11th Governor Rally and Rajya Puruskar Award Distribution Ceremony, held at the Durbar Hall of Raj Bhavan, Imphal. The event was organized by the Manipur State Bharat Scouts and Guides to celebrate the exceptional contributions and unwavering commitment of young Scouts across the state.
During the ceremony, Governor Bhalla conferred the prestigious Rajya Puruskar Awards to 30 Scouts in recognition of their dedication, leadership, and service to society.
In his address, the Governor emphasized the vital role Scouts play in shaping a progressive nation, aligning their efforts with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. He praised the Scouts for their spirit of service, resilience, and moral strength, highlighting their quiet yet significant impact through involvement in community services such as environmental initiatives, literacy drives, disaster relief efforts, and promoting peace and harmony.
Governor Bhalla urged the young awardees to continue embodying ethical values, social responsibility, and mental resilience, calling on them to nurture their “inner net”—a network of values, emotions, and responsibilities—especially important in today’s digitally dominated world.
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including MLA Kh Raghumani Singh, Lt General (Retd.) K Himalaya Singh, and Rajiv Singh, Director General of Police, Manipur.
