Sudha Murthy's first speech in Rajya Sabha

Sudha Murthy, in her maiden speech in the Rajya Sabha, highlighted two key issues: advocating for a government-sponsored vaccination program to combat cervical cancer and promoting domestic tourism.

1. Cervical Cancer Vaccination: Sudha Murthy called for a government-sponsored vaccination program to combat cervical cancer, which is preventable through vaccination. She emphasized the importance of this program, especially for girls aged 9 to 14.

2. Domestic Tourism: Sudha Murthy also pitched for promoting domestic tourism and highlighted 57 domestic tourist sites that should be considered World Heritage Sites. She praised the marvelous temples in Srirangam and noted that the 2,500-year-old monuments in Sarnath are still not recognized as World Heritage Sites.

In her speech, Sudha Murthy quoted her father, saying, "When a mother dies, it is counted as one death in the hospital, but for the family, a mother is lost forever." She also praised the government's handling of the Covid vaccination drive, suggesting that it could manage a similar program for cervical cancer vaccination.

Rath Yatra, a Hindu festival celebrated in honor of Lord Jagannath



The posts commemorate the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra, a Hindu festival celebrated in honor of Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra. This year's Rath Yatra is particularly significant as it is a two-day affair, a rare occurrence happening after 53 years. The festival involves a grand procession where the deities are taken out in chariots from the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, and are paraded through the streets. The event is marked by prayers, celebrations, and the pulling of the chariots by devotees, symbolizing a journey of faith and devotion. Various dignitaries, including the Governor of Bengal and political figures, have extended their wishes for peace, prosperity, and good health to all on this occasion.  #RathYatra2024
