The Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, has launched a fundraising campaign called the “Chardi Kala Mission” to rehabilitate those affected by the recent floods in the state. The mission is a global effort to raise funds for the state government’s rehabilitation initiatives for the flood victims. In response to the campaign, the Union Bank of India has contributed Rs 2 crore to support the mission.
Mann expressed his gratitude to the bank’s management and stated that over 1,000 philanthropists have already come forward to support the mission. He emphasized that the floods that recently hit the state were a natural disaster of epic proportions, causing widespread devastation and sweeping away the dreams of millions of people. However, he also noted that Punjab has always emerged stronger from every crisis and that this is the state’s greatest test.
The “Chardi Kala” mission is inspired by the eternal Sikh spirit of strength and optimism in the face of adversity. The term “Chardi Kala” means “ever-rising spirit” and signifies the resilience and determination of the people of Punjab. Mann called on all Punjabis around the world to unite as one family and contribute generously to rebuild the Punjab of their dreams.
The Chief Minister assured transparency and accountability in the use of the funds collected, stating that every penny will be spent judiciously for the welfare and rehabilitation of flood victims. He expressed hope that more people will come forward to support the mission and contribute to the rebuilding efforts.
The contribution by the Union Bank of India is a significant boost to the mission, and Mann thanked the bank for its support. The bank’s contribution of Rs 2 crore will go a long way in supporting the rehabilitation efforts and helping those affected by the floods to rebuild their lives. With the support of individuals and organizations like the Union Bank of India, the “Chardi Kala Mission” aims to make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by the floods and help Punjab recover from the devastating disaster.
