Chandigarh, September 25 - While marking the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, being celebrated as ‘Samarpan Divas’ across the country in a unique manner, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal today launched ‘Samarpan’ Portal which aims to encourage such volunteers who are willing to serve the society and can become an essential part of social upliftment in Haryana by dedicating their time and effort towards social work.

After launching the portal, Sh. Manohar Lal said that people working voluntarily would be added through this portal after which services of volunteers including youth, retired employees, would be taken in the field of education, skill development, sports, agriculture etc.

The voluntary services provided through the 'Samarpan' initiative are linked with various programmes and initiatives of the government such as education, women and child development, farmer’s welfare, skill development.

The Chief Minister said that ‘Samarpan’ will provide a platform for the volunteers who wish to do something good for society. For instance, if someone wants to help children then by registering on this portal they can educate them or can give sports or skill training to them. Similarly, if someone wants to work for the welfare of women, then they can make them aware about nutrition, empowerment or security.

“The unique feature of giving voluntary services is that they are individual-based and through this noble feeling of Samarpan one can help the government and the local community in fulfilling the goal of good governance,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.

The goal of the 'Samarpan' programme is to ease the path of a person who wishes to do something for the needy people of society. If anyone is willing to serve humanity, then this Samarpan portal is certainly going to be a pivotal platform for rendering their services, added Sh. Manohar Lal.
