Inaugurating a program here Thursday on the occasion of 137th birth anniversary of Mahaguru Phalgunanda Lingden, the Chief Minister said that Mahaguru Phalgunanda made crucial contributions in protecting the Kirant religion, language, culture and heritage in the past despite the society was lagging behind educationally.

Shedding lights on Mahaguru’s message of the world peace and welfare of humankind, the Chief Minister said that only the peace and stability would bring about development in the country.
