CM Yogi Adityanath Writes Summer Vacation Letter To Children, Says Learn Beyond The Classroom

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has written a special letter to school students for the summer vacation, urging children to use the break wisely while asking parents and guardians to connect them with family traditions, nature and a plastic-free lifestyle, in a message that mixes advice on learning, travel, values and environmental care.

In the letter, Yogi Adityanath places strong emphasis on family bonds, especially between children and grandparents. The Chief Minister appeals to parents and guardians to ensure visits to both maternal and paternal grandparents during the holidays, so that children can spend time with elders, listen to their experiences and observe family customs closely within a relaxed home setting.

Sharing concern over childhood drifting towards mobile screens in the digital age, Yogi Adityanath reminds adults about storytelling memories from earlier generations. The letter states, “Most of us would have listened to stories from our grandparents during childhood. Today, children are gradually moving away from such experiences. I urge you to make sure children visit their maternal and paternal grandparents during these holidays.” The Chief Minister believes such visits help children understand values and local traditions.

Linking cultural roots with personal growth, Yogi Adityanath explains that time with grandparents can help children learn about family history, moral lessons and community practices. According to the Chief Minister, these interactions strengthen a child’s sense of identity, give emotional security and create lasting memories that textbooks and digital content cannot fully offer.

The Chief Minister also highlights environmental awareness as a major theme of the summer break. Yogi Adityanath urges parents to involve children in planting saplings, assigning responsibility for their care and encouraging habits that keep surroundings clean. The letter underlines the importance of soil, trees and water, and connects these elements with both personal life and cultural continuity.

To explain this thought, Yogi Adityanath shares a key message with students: “Always remember, the tree whose roots are strong is the one that bears the most fruit and lives the longest. Our culture and values are like those very roots.” The Chief Minister links strong roots with both a fruitful tree and a meaningful life, supported by culture and values.

The letter suggests that parents can also take children to major natural and wildlife destinations in Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath names Dudhwa National Park, Chuka Beach and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary as options, so that travel during summer vacation becomes memorable while helping students observe biodiversity, forests and rivers directly rather than only reading about such places.

Apart from travel and nature, the Chief Minister devotes a large section to personal development. Yogi Adityanath encourages teenagers and young students to use the vacation to spot hidden interests and build new habits. The letter recommends learning a new language or skill, reading good books and trying creative activities like photography, painting, cooking, music or gardening to support all-round personality growth.

Addressing children directly, Yogi Adityanath writes, “My dear children, summer vacations bring a time of joy, excitement and new discoveries for all of you. As soon as there is a little break from the busy school routine, the mind becomes eager to learn something new, visit new places and spend time with loved ones.” The Chief Minister frames the break as a chance for joy, curiosity and discovery.

Towards the end of the message, Yogi Adityanath focuses on plastic waste and health. The Chief Minister appeals to families to follow a “plastic-free” approach during travel or picnics, use only cloth or jute bags, avoid littering and inspire children to adopt a clean, disciplined and healthy lifestyle. Yogi Adityanath expresses confidence that such small efforts by young citizens can become the base for positive social change in the future.
