DOGRA HERALD BUREAU
KATHUA, Dec 8
Long ago, in the quaint village of Bijohoe, nestled amidst lush green fields and towering mountains, a man named Beli Ram lived with his wife and two children. Beli Ram, the son of Birbal, had spent his entire life toiling in the fields as a farmer, rarely pausing to think about his own needs and desires. He had dedicated every waking moment to ensure that his family had enough to eat and a roof over their heads.
As the years rolled by, Beli Ram found himself reaching the twilight of his life. His once strong and sturdy physique had now surrendered to the trials of time, and he could feel the weight of his years with every step he took. However, despite the hardships, he had never lost his optimism and unwavering commitment to his family.
Beli Ram had always been a keen observer of the world around him, and he was deeply grateful for the government schemes and initiatives that had helped his family over the years. He shared his testimony during “Meri Kahani Meri Zubani” as part of the ongoing Viksit Bharat Yatra. It was an opportunity for him to share his story and experiences, and express gratitude to the government for the support he had received.
While narrating his story, Beli Ram carried the weight of a lifetime of struggles and triumphs.
“Namaste, my fellow villagers,” Beli Ram started, his voice quivering with a mix of emotion and gratitude. “I stand before you today to share my story, my journey through the trials and tribulations of life. I am Beli Ram, the son of Birbal, a humble farmer from this village.”
As he spoke, the audience listened intently, their eyes reflecting the respect and admiration they held for Beli Ram. “I have spent my entire life working in the fields, tilling the land and sowing the seeds of hope for my family. My days were filled with the sweat of my brow and the song of the birds, as I labored to provide for my loved ones,” Beli Ram continued.
He recounted the countless challenges he had faced over the years – the unpredictable weather, the rising costs of farming, and the ever-present worry of ensuring that his family never went hungry.
“But amidst these challenges, I found solace in the unwavering support of the government,” Beli Ram declared, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. “The various schemes and initiatives introduced by the government have been a source of immense relief for my family. The Old Age Pension Beneficiary scheme, in particular, has been a blessing in my twilight years. It has provided me with the means to live a dignified life, without burdening my family with my needs.”
The audience nodded in agreement, fully aware of the impact of such government schemes on the lives of the villagers.
“Through the years, I have witnessed the transformation of our village and our nation, thanks to the tireless efforts of our government. The Viksit Bharat Yatra, which aims to showcase the progress and development across our country, is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our leaders towards a brighter future for all of us,” Beli Ram expressed with conviction. He spoke of the improvements in infrastructure, the advancements in healthcare, and the opportunities that were now available for the younger generation. His words resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom had their own stories of gratitude to share.
“As I stand here today, I express my sincere gratitude to the government for all that they have done for us. I am grateful for the Old Age Pension Beneficiary scheme that has eased my burdens and allowed me to live with dignity in my advancing years. I am grateful for the Viksit Bharat Yatra, which acts as a beacon of hope for a brighter tomorrow,” Beli Ram concluded, his voice filled with emotion. The gathering erupted into applause and Beli Ram was surrounded by his fellow villagers, who joined him in expressing their gratitude to the government.
