Delhi Assembly
All Delhi government offices will remain closed on October 7 on Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti, an official statement said.
To mark the occasion, several programmes, processions and tribute meetings will be organised across the capital in which Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will take part, it said.
Maharishi Valmiki was not only the ‘adikavi’ (first poet) of Indian literature and the creator of Ramayana, but also a symbol of equality, justice and humanity. His ideals continue to guide society on the path of equality, respect and dignity, the statement quoted Gupta as saying.
The chief minister said the Delhi government is committed to the upliftment, education, and ensuring equal opportunities and socialist justice for the Dalit community.
The teachings of Maharishi Valmiki continue to strengthen the spirit of justice and harmony in society, she said.
The Delhi government will organise a special programme on Monday at the Secretariat. The event, being held under the aegis of the Department of Social Welfare, will include discussions on the life, personality and teachings of Maharishi Valmiki, the statement said.
