While addressing a Jan Sabha, CM Yogi got emotional as he remembered his Gurus (teachers) and shared anecdotes from his childhood.
“Today, it is a matter of even more pride for me that I have received the privilege of meeting and honouring the gurus of my school. I have studied here from 1st to 9th standard. After that, I left my village with my father. I am also sad as many of the gurus are not here with me”, he said with a teary eye.
CM Yogi also hailed the youth of the Uttarkhand, “The education here (Uttarakhand) is as good. We have to pursue those possibilities as much as possible. Wherever the youth of this place goes, they will definitely prove their talent and make the nation proud. We have also read and known here,” said Yogi Adityanath.
Yogi Adityanath unveiled the statute of guru Mahant Avaidyanath at Guru Gorakhnath Mahavidyalaya campus in Yamkeshwar, Pauri Garhwal. Mahant was also a resident of Kandi village and CM Yogi Adityanath got influenced by him and became a monk.
