Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Aug 8 lauded Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's wife Rivaba for the generous act of opening Sukanya Samriddhi accounts for 101 girls on the occasion of their daughter’s fifth birthday. In a letter shared by Jadeja's wife on her official Twitter handle, Prime Minister Modi hailed what he described "philanthropic initiative" taken by the couple by opening bank accounts for girls and making the initial deposit in every account to celebrate the birthday of their beloved daughter, Nidhyanaba, a move the Prime Minister called "admirable."
PM Modi acknowledged the act of gratitude by Rivaba Jadeja for helping the 101 underprivileged girls, labelling the act as an "unselfish deed." Further in the letter, PM Modi wrote, “Our culture has always been guided by the spirit of selfless service. India is the bearer of such an intellectual tradition of the world where we say that the woman is a manifestation of the divine.” India's prime minister also wished the best to the couple to continue their laudable contribution toward the larger good of society. He stressed that "such voluntary efforts have the potential to generate a positive message within society and serve as an inspiration to all."
