JAMMU: “Savarkar, the valiant son of Mother India endured tremendous hardship but every moment of his life was dedicated to freedom and development of this soil. Today, people of India are working towards creating a Strong, Aatma-Nirbhar and Viksit Bharat, in line with Veer Savarkar’s vision”, the Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha said on Wednesday.
He was speaking at the ‘Veer Savarkar International Impact Award’, organised by High-range Rural Development Society (HRDS India), in New Delhi.

“Savarkar is a symbol of India’s success, India’s strength, India’s prosperity, India’s resolve, India’s dedication, India’s sensitivity, India’s simplicity, India’s perseverance, India’s culture, and India’s dreams.
