BJP MP Ramesh Pokhriyal’s daughter is going to serve in the Army and he couldn’t be more proud

Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and BJP MP Ramesh Pokhriyal recently posted a picture on his Twitter account which showed his daughter in full military uniform.

The proud father wrote that his daughter Dr Shreyasi Nishank will be continuing the tradition of Uttarakhand, and would join the Medical Corps.

He further wrote that his daughter had completed her studies from Himalayan Medical College and that daughters were equal to sons. Dr Shreyasi will now work at Military Hospital in Roorkee.

He wrote in Hindi: “My companions, I am very proud to share this with you all that my daughter Dr Shreyasi Nishank, who has continued the military tradition of Uttarakhand today, has duly joined the army with the Army Medical Corps. I am happy that Shreyasi decided to go to the Army and complete the studies of MBBS from the Himalayan Medical Colleges and serve the country. Today the daughters are no less than men in any field, and our duty is that we work for our daughters to get equal education for sons.”

साथियों, मैं बहुत गौरवान्वित महसूस कर रहा हूँ आप सब से यह बात साझा करते हुए की मेरे पुत्री डॉ श्रेयशी निशंक ने आज उत्तराखण्ड की सैन्य परंपरा को जारी रखते हुए विधिवत रूप से सेना में बतौर अफसर आर्मी मेडिकल कोर में जॉइन कर लिया है। pic.twitter.com/CPX5JvKaS5

मुझे खुशी है कि श्रेयशी ने हिमालयन मेडिकल कोलज से एम बी बी एस की पढ़ाई पूर्ण कर सेना में जाकर देश की सेवा करने का निर्णय लिया । आज बेटियां किसी भी क्षेत्र में पुरुषों से कम नहीं हैं और हमारा फर्ज बनता हैं कि हम अपनी बेटियों को बेटों के बराबर शिक्षा दिलवाने का काम करें।
