He said the government is conscious of its duty to provide a transparent and compassionate government for high or low, rich or poor, oppressed and exploited class.

Speaking in response to the felicitation by the Gujarat Valmiki Seva Sangh on the Valmiki Jayanti, he extolled the members of the Valmiki Samaj for working as the sentinels of health, hygiene and cleanliness, with the Safai Kamdar Vikas Nigam taking care of higher education of their children and trying to create job opportunities.

Social Justice & Empowerment Minister Atmaram Parmar said the people belonging to the Valmiki Samaj are living in dearth and paucity. He asked them take Maharshi Valmiki’s rathyatra in their locality.
