EC to celebrate fifth National Voters’ Day Jan 25
New Delhi: The Election Commission will celebrate the fifth National Voters’ Day (NVD) across the country Jan 25 on the “Easy Registration, Easy Correction” theme, a statement said Friday.
A function will also be held in the national capital which will be presided over by former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
“Awards for the best electoral practices to Chief Electoral Officers and District Election Officers will also be given during the occasion. Awards will also be given to media houses and civil society organisations for best campaign in Voters’ Education and Awareness,” the Election Commission statement said.
“The Commission’s objective through NVD is to increase enrolment of voters, especially of the newly eligible ones. The National Voters’ Day is also utilised to spread awareness among voters regarding effective participation in the electoral process,” the statement added.
The Election Commission of India was established Jan 25, 1950.
The government decided to celebrate January 25 every year as ‘National Voters’ Day’ to encourage more young voters to take part in the political process and it started from Jan 25, 2011 to mark the EC’s foundation day.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
