He was presiding over a function of a vernacular Hindi Daily group here today.

He said that due to hard work, these entrepreneurs/businessmen have earned their name in the society and were also contributing in providing employment to the Himachali youth.
“The entrepreneurs and businessmen honoured here have not only have transformed their dreams into reality, and significantly contributed to the development and prosperity of our State. They are the backbone of our economy, creating job opportunities for the youth and promoting inclusive growth of our State”, said the Governor.
He said that what sets these entrepreneurs apart was not just their success in business but also their commitment to giving back to society. They understand that true prosperity was not measured solely by financial gain but by the positive impact they have on their communities. He said that whether it’s supporting local artisans, promoting environmental sustainability, or empowering marginalized groups, they exemplify the spirit of social responsibility that defines Himachali culture.
Shri Shukla said that as of today, there was a need for creating employment by those, who were well placed in the world of business.
