postage stamp on Swami Dayanand Saraswati 200 birth anniversary
On the occasion of 200th birth anniversary of Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Vice President releases commemorative postage stamp on 07th April 2023.
Swami Dayanand Saraswati’s vision and action for countering social evils continue to remain relevant to this day, and find resonance in Government initiatives such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and the New Education Policy.
Vice President, Jagdeep Dhankhar noted the dedicated efforts of Swami Dayanand ji for the eradication of social evils like untouchability, and towards the empowerment of women through education, that continue to form the foundation of social welfare in Independent India.
The Vice President paid tribute to Swami Dayanand’s contributions as a thinker-philosopher of modern India, and as the founder of the Arya Samaj. Amid colonial rule, when India lost its spiritual and cultural moorings, Swami Dayanand Saraswati reinfused Vedic wisdom with a rational outlook to revitalize India’s civilizational ethos.
