On this occasion, the Governor **honored three individuals** from Udaipur—**Advocate Khubilal Singhvi (Bedla), Banshilal Gadia (Bohra Ganesh Ji), and Pannalal Sharma (Badgaon)**—who had personally witnessed Pandit Upadhyaya’s speech in 1964. He also exchanged memories with them from those times.
### “State Government Serving the Poor as Divine Beings” – Minister Gautam Dak

He also referred to the historic **"Food for Work"** scheme introduced by former Rajasthan CM **Bhairon Singh Shekhawat**, and appreciated current CM **Bhajanlal Sharma's** approach of treating the poor as **“Ganesh” (divine figures)** in governance and public service.
