Something exciting happened recently in the Sindhudurg district, and we can’t wait to share the news with you. Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, did something really special.
A Big Unveiling at Rajkot Fort
Picture this: a grand statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was unveiled by our Prime Minister at Rajkot Fort. It’s like a big, beautiful sculpture to honor a great historical figure. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was an incredible leader, and now, he’s being celebrated in a big way.
Who Was There?
Guess what? The event was attended by some really important people! We had the Governor of Maharashtra, Ramesh Bais, the Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde, and not one but two deputy Chief Ministers, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. It was a grand gathering to honor an even grander personality.
More Fun by the Beach
But wait, there’s more! After the statue unveiling, our Prime Minister headed to Tarkarli Beach. Do you know why? Well, Navy Day is celebrated every year on December 4th, and the beach was buzzing with activity. The Indian Navy showed off their cool ships, submarines, aircraft, and special forces. It’s like a big demonstration to showcase their skills and celebrate Navy Day!
Why This Day is Extra Special
This Navy Day celebration in Sindhudurg has a special touch. It’s all about remembering the amazing maritime heritage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Last year, our Prime Minister did something awesome. He commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant. And guess what? Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s seal inspired the new Naval Ensign. It’s like a way of saying, “Hey, our history is cool, and we’re proud of it!”
What’s Next?
So, what’s the big takeaway from all this excitement? It’s a reminder of our rich history and the leaders who shaped it. The grand statue, the Navy Day celebrations, and honoring Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – it’s all about pride and respect for our roots.
A big shoutout to PM Modi for making these moments special and to everyone who was a part of this grand day. Let’s celebrate our history, our leaders, and the spirit of Navy Day together!
