Hyderabad, April 13: Governor Dr.
Tamilisai Soundararajan took part in the Ugadi celebrations at the Raj Bhavan,
here, on Tuesday.
In true spirit of the Telugu New Year,
the Governor got the traditional Ugadi Pachadi prepared at the Main House, the
official residence of the Governor, and served the guests on the occasion.
Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan also took
care to prepare the other traditional dishes made up of jaggery that are
traditionally prepared to treat the Raj Bhavan pariwar members and a few guests.
Speaking on the occasion, the Governor
stated that she was blessed to get her wish fulfilled to celebrate the Telugu
New Year, Plava naama Ugadi festival, at Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad, with the
pariwar members and other guests.
“I hope, wish, and pray that the
beginning of the Telugu New Year might also mark the beginning of the end of
Covid-19 pandemic. I wish this Plava naama Ugadi help us sail through the
pandemic and see its end,” she added.
The Governor extended her wishes to
the people of Telangana and all the Telugu people living all over the world a
very happy Ugadi and wished for a healthy, happy, and prosperous year ahead for
all.
Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan said that
the Plava Ugadi signifies the year of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Referring to her constitutional role
as the Lt. Governor in Puducherry, where the President’s rule is in force, Dr.
Tamilisai Soundararajan stated that though the additional job demands more time
there, I equally think of the well-being of Telangana people all the time.
“Whenever I speak for additional vaccines
and additional supplies of Remdesivir injections, I equally give top priority
to Telangana State. I am getting additional supplies of the same for Telangana
and this gives me immense happiness,” she added.
Financial
Aid for Nutritional Intervention for tribal people:
Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan
extended a financial assistance of Rs 8.66 lakh from her discretionary grants
towards the nutritional intervention programme for the benefit of the primitive
tribal groups of people in the State.
The Governor handed over the cheque
for the amount to the Indian Red Cross Society to coordinate the nutritional
intervention programme to improve the nutritional status of the primitive
tribal people in select districts of the State.
Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan also held
a detailed review meeting with the representatives of the IRCS, doctors of the
ESIC medical college, scientists of the National Institute of Nutrition and the
officials of the TRIFED.
She reviewed the time-bound action
plan to improve the nutritional status, livelihoods and other living conditions
of the primitive tribal people.
Governor
extends Rs 50,000 financial aid to self-employed women:
The Governor also extended a financial
aid of Rs 50,000 from her discretionary grants towards the purchase of raw
materials for handmade designs by women of Raj Bhavan pariwar.
Taking a look at their designs, Dr.
Tamilisai Soundararajan said that their designs were trend-setting and highly
creative. “Many were asking about my trendy mask when I went to cast my vote in
Tamil Nadu. I proudly said that this was the product of my Raj Bhavan Pariwar
women,” she added.
The women of Raj Bhavan pariwar, as a
part of an initiative by the Governor, were trained in hand made designs to
promote the spirit of Atma Nirbhar Bharath and help women get financial
independence.
Moved by the plight of one attendant,
who suffered a paralytic stroke recently and is undergoing treatment, the
Governor extended a financial assistance of Rs 25,000 to one Bhavani. The
Governor handed over the cheque for the amount to Bhavani.
Earlier, Ameerpet Kanakadurga Temple
Priests performed Ashirvachanam and blessed the Governor and her husband,
eminent Nephrologist Dr. P. Soundararajan on the auspicious occasion of Telugu
New Year day.
Secretary to Governor K. Surendra
Mohan, advisors to Governor, Joint Secretaries, and other senior officials were
