Youth urged to contribute to nation-building
Devnani emphasised that young people should remain connected to Indian culture and spiritual traditions and play an active role in nation-building.
He expressed hope that the blessings of Goddess Durga, the embodiment of divine power, would bring positive energy into everyone's life and that Rajasthan would continue to advance on the path of progress, peace and prosperity.
