In a heart-warming display of community engagement, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya on Thursday celebrated his 70th birthday with inmates of Mother Old Age Home in Guwahati.

The Governor expressed his profound joy for being able to celebrate his birthday with the sisters and mothers of the old age home.

"Their smiles are a source of inspiration. Moreover, spending time with these important members of our community, has reinforced my commitment to serving and honoring them," the Governor added.

Acharya moreover said, "A society develops only when every member of it enjoys right of living and dignity."

He, therefore, reiterated on the need of raising awareness about the importance of supporting elderly people and enhance the care and facilities for life.

The Governor said, "There is no better way to celebrate another year of my life than giving back to those who have paved the way for us for all these years."

During his visit, the Governor shared cake, fruits, sweets and other refreshments with the inmates.

Notably, the Mother Old Age Home, established on June 21, 2012 provides a compassionate shelter to the needy and destitute elderly individuals who lack family support. Currently the home accommodates 65 grandmothers and grandfathers.

Earlier today, Governor Acharya visited Maa Kamakhya temple and Maa Bagala temple and took blessings from the Goddesses, and prayed for the welfare of all sections of the people of the society. (ANI)
