Assam government was committed to aide the intellectual, social and spiritual development of children, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said Wednesday on the occasion of the Children's Day.
Children are the future of the country and nucleus of human resources, the chief minister said at a function organised to celebrate the Day.
"Without the development of children, a state cannot progress. So my government is giving paramount importance for the all round development of children," Sonowal said.
All parents dream of making their child great and so, on the occasion of the Children's Day, all should take a pledge to help children realize their full potentials, he said.
"Since children constitute a sizeable chunk of human resources of the country, a conducive environment needs to be given to them so that they can become good human beings and help in the development of the country," he added.
He urged parents to guide and monitor their children's exposure to mobile phones and asked them to educate their children to use it for constructive purposes.
Paying tributes to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sonowal said it will be great honour to the first Prime Minister if children can be imbibed with good habits.
He also pointed out the need of encouraging children to plant saplings for pollution free, green and clean Assam and preserve the state rich nature.
