Collector pays tributes to Bhagiratha
The Collector emphasised that the Jayanti is being officially celebrated to draw inspiration from Bhagiratha's life, which exemplifies perseverance and vision. From a young age, he pursued an extraordinary goal with steadfast dedication, never losing heart despite numerous challenges, and ultimately achieved success, she noted.
Drawing a philosophical comparison, she said that while a pessimistic person sees a glass as half-empty, an optimistic mind views it as half-full. Such positive thinking leads to favourable outcomes, she asserted. The collector urged everyone to cultivate a constructive mindset and take inspiration from the lives of those who have achieved great milestones.
The event was attended by District Revenue Officer T Seetharama Murthy, Tribal Welfare Officer KN Jyothi, and other officials from various departments.
