== Govindlal Vora Left Behind a Legacy of Journalism ==

The country lost a fearless journalist, a great writer, thinker, philosopher, social worker, and educationist Govindlal Vora on 13th May 2018 at New Delhi after suffering from Pneumonia and breathing-related problems. The passion for writing and vision for working towards social upliftment, encouraged him to highlight the true picture of the society. His contributions to the journalism are immeasurable.

The six decades of fearless and unbiased journalism has not only earned him respect but also introduced the state of Chhattisgarh to the world. Imagining Chhattisgarh’s journalism without his leadership is a hard nut to crack. He was integral member of many associations working towards the wellbeing and betterment of journalists. Govindlal Vora was the driving force behind the foundation of Raipur Press Club. He believed that the young journalists needed to develop strong principles and should adopt an honest approach in covering any news, issue or event. He wanted the journalists to meet and discuss new ideas to empower the national journalism. Nothing stayed untouched by Govindlal Vora. He was the Director of the Chhattisgarh Hindi Literature Convention. He also encouraged the foundation of the press community at Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University. In parallel, he stayed an active member in many social institutions like ’Gram Seva Samiti’ and ‘Krishi Gaurakshini’ which operated on the principles and visions of Mahatma Gandhi. It will not be overstatement to say that every aspect of society was touched and improved by Govindlal Vora. He was a gem and his contributions towards journalism and society are transcendental.

Friends of Govindlal Vora The founder of Amrit Sandesh Shri Govindlal Vora was very friendly, soft-spoken and simple, a very down to earth personality, this is the reason why it is difficult to count his friends list, if we talk about close friends the Sr. Journalist Madhukar Kher will be on the top of it their pair was a hit when it comes to reporting within the nation or abroad In his entire life, he only knew the art of making friends and never had a single enemy, For this reason, his friends call him “AJAT SHATRU” which means the one who has no enemies. He also had many followers who would be with him hand in hand in all the good times as well as bad times, He was a famous personality amongst all ages and sectors of the society, especially in the Sihava and the Bastar tribes they would consider Shri Govindlal Vora as a person of their own.

Govindlal Vora had a dynamic personality and would make friends easily and one special thing about his personality was that he would never forget his friends, he would rather stand firm with them in all walks of their life.

Politically his friend list includes many, but ex-Prime Minister VP Singh, Chandrashekhar, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, ex-Defence Minister George Fernandes, and Raghu Thakur were his very close friends. With such a dynamic and colour full personality it’s no doubt that Shri Govindlal Vora was a people’s man.
