New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar will start a new innings on Wednesday as the Election Commission of India’s national icon for voter awareness and education. The announcement was made by the EC on Tuesday, and Tendulkar said he was honored to be chosen for the role.
“I am humbled and honored to be appointed as the National Icon for Voter Awareness and Education by the Election Commission of India,” Tendulkar said in a statement. “I have always believed in the power of democracy, and I am committed to doing my part to encourage people to participate in the electoral process.”
Tendulkar is a national icon in India, and his appointment as the EC’s national icon is a major coup for the commission. He is widely respected and admired, and his involvement is likely to help raise awareness of the importance of voting among the Indian public.
As part of his role, Tendulkar will promote voter awareness and education through a variety of channels, including public appearances, social media, and educational initiatives. He will also work with the EC to develop new and innovative ways to reach voters.
“I believe that every eligible Indian has the right to vote, and I am committed to doing my part to ensure that everyone exercises their right,” Tendulkar said. “I will work with the Election Commission to create a more informed and engaged electorate, and I will urge all eligible voters to cast their vote in every election.”
Tendulkar’s appointment is a significant step forward for the EC’s voter awareness and education efforts. With his help, the commission hopes to reach more voters and encourage them to participate in the electoral process.
In addition to his work with the EC, Tendulkar is also involved in a number of other charities and social causes. He is the founder of the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, which works to improve the lives of children in India. He is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and he has worked on a number of projects to promote education and health in developing countries.
Tendulkar is a true national icon, and his appointment as the EC’s national icon for voter awareness and education is a welcome development. He is a role model for millions of Indians, and his involvement is likely to have a positive impact on voter turnout in the coming years.
