Greetings on #InternationalLiteracyDay!
शिक्षा अंधेरे से उजाले की ओर ले जाती हैं,
शिक्षा विकास की आधारशिला है।
मेरा प्रदेशवासियों से आह्वान है कि वे साक्षरता के महत्व और शिक्षा सम्बंधित योजनाओं की जानकारी आपस में साझा कर राज्य को सम्पूर्ण साक्षर बनाने में अपनी भूमिका निभाएँ। pic.twitter.com/SOWbayVegS— Vasundhara Raje (@VasundharaBJP) September 8, 2018
