MP: Two Officials Tie Knot In Bhopal Without Dowry, Vow To Use Saved Money For Poor Children Education

The newly-wed couple Pankaj Suryavanshi and Vijeta Suryavanshi

Bhopal: Two state govt officials have set an example by tying the knot in the Registrar Office in Bhopal without dowry and resolved to use the money thus saved for education of poor children. The couple, CID Sub-Inspector Pankaj Suryavanshi posted in Bhopal and Cooperative Extension Officer Vijeta Suryavanshi posted in Seoni district tied the knot here on Wednesday.

Suryavanshi is a resident of Chikhali Kalan village, Multai tehsil in Betul district while his wife and Vijeta is a resident of Gangiwada, Chhindwara district. The couple's move is being appreciated by everyone. The parents and family members of both sides were present at the Registrar's Office.

The couple said, "To make this occasion memorable, we are setting up the Pankavi Foundation and Ekta Library, which aims to work for the better education of girls. After getting married in a simple way, we want to spend the saved money through our Pankavi Foundation for the education of economically weak children (especially girls preparing for competitive exams)."

Notably, for the last 10 years, Vijeta has been providing free coaching, through Ekta Coaching Classes, to economically weak students (especially girls) for school and competitive examinations in Gangiwada, Chhindwara district. So far more than 20 students have been selected for various government services. Recently, 5 girls have been selected in the Madhya Pradesh Police and School Education Department.

Vijeta's mother, Asha Suryavanshi, who is a teacher, said, "I am proud of my daughter's decision. She is trying to brighten the future of many daughters. Both Pankaj and Vijeta are working with excellence in their respective fields. (ANI)
