Tirumala-based Gubba Choultry donates Rs 1 crore towards Prime Minister's Relief Fund
Vijayawada: Expressing solidarity with the Indian Army, 'Gubba Choultry,' an organisation in Tirumala, donated ₹1 crore to the
Prime Minister's Relief Fund
. Representatives of the organisation met with health minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav here on Thursday and handed over the cheque.
Speaking on the occasion, Satya Kumar remarked that
national defense
is not solely the responsibility of soldiers, and every Indian citizen must serve the country with a spirit of dedication.
"Entire nation should take the responsibility to protect the country. We should get inspired by the armed forces that have been battling with the enemies round the clock in adverse weather conditions. We need to realise the value of the sacrifices of the soldiers," the minister said.
Satya Kumar said that Indian forces taught a fitting lesson to the neighbouring Pakistan army for encouraging the terror organisations on its soil. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not compromise the country's safety. He welcomed the ₹1 crore donation from Gubba Choultry and praised the organisation's service initiatives as highly inspiring to society.
The representatives of Gubba Choultry said the Indian Army is bravely fighting enemies and showcasing its strength under the leadership of PM Modi. They noted that many soldiers have laid down their lives in this struggle and announced that their organisation is contributing the donation to support the army's efforts. Secretary of Sanskriti voluntary service organisation, Vanteru Srinivasula Reddy, trustees of Tirumala Gubba Choultry, including Chekka Nagakumar, Srihari, Dara Santosh Kumar, and others were present.
