Our only effort is to bring happiness in everyone's life: Nandi

It is a pleasure to see happiness and smiles on the faces of children:

Abhilasha Gupta Nandi

Prayagraj,

17 Oct (HS): It

is said that happiness increases when shared, and giving happiness is the

foundation of happiness. Embracing this philosophy in his own life, Nand Gopal

Gupta Nandi, Industrial Development Minister of the Uttar Pradesh government,

has been spreading joy among poor and needy families on Diwali for the past

several years, in a unique way, under the campaign Har Ghar Roshni, Har

Ghar Diwali.

He has been celebrating the festival of Diwali with the children living in

various Dalit settlements and slums of his Prayagraj City South Assembly

constituency. Minister Nandi does this because he knows what Diwali is like for

a family that can barely manage two meals a day. How the children's wishes are fulfilled,

because Minister Nandi has lived this life. He has seen it very closely. Today,

God may have made him a successful entrepreneur as well as a successful

politician. But he has not forgotten that life till date. He tries to spread

happiness in people's lives. Like every year, this year too, Minister Nandi

organized Diwali celebrations in a different way with the children living in

various Dalit settlements and slums of his Prayagraj City South Assembly

constituency.

1490 children and their parents from 344 families of Prayagraj City South

Assembly constituency reached Civil Lines Subhash Square in about 104

e-rickshaws. Where Minister Nandi and former Mayor of Prayagraj Mrs. Abhilasha

Gupta Nandi welcomed the children. Minister Nandi and former Mayor along with

the children rode on e-rickshaws and reached City Cart Mall. Where Minister

Nandi and former Mayor made the children do shopping as per their choice. The

children bought clothes and shoes for Diwali.

Minister Nandi and former Prayagraj Mayor Abhilasha Gupta Nandi personally

purchased clothes from the mall and let the children choose from them, picking

out clothes according to their preferences. The children were given complete

freedom to choose clothes, without having to look at the budget or the bill.

They simply had to choose the clothes they wanted. The children did exactly

that. They bought clothes of their choice.

They took us shopping at a store. The children loved the clothes and other

items. The children from the Dalit settlement were overjoyed to receive their

favorite clothes and other gifts. Their joy knew no bounds.

Minister Nandi said that it is heartening to see the joy and smiles on the

faces of children from poor families on Diwali, the festival of sharing

happiness. Everyone, whether rich or poor, has the right to celebrate the

festival. We should all strive to bring happiness to everyone's life. If God

has enabled us to help someone and bring happiness to their homes, we must do

so. He said that as part of this effort, every year we celebrate the festival

of lights with children from poor families and try to bring happiness to their

faces as well. Former Prayagraj Mayor Abhilasha Gupta Nandi said that Diwali is

a festival of joy and sweetness. Celebrating the festival with children in this

way is a pleasant feeling. We should all share happiness with poor children.
