Viksit Bharat@2047

Friends,

For inspiration, we all have our long struggle for freedom before us. When we entered the field with one goal, with one zeal and passion, considering freedom as the ultimate goal, we were able to achieve success. During this period, Satyagraha, the path of revolution, awareness about Swadeshi, consciousness of social and educational reforms, all these streams together became the strength of the freedom movement. During this period, many such institutions like Kashi Hindu University, Lucknow University, Visva Bharati, Gujarat Vidyapith, Nagpur University, Annamalai University, Andhra University, and University of Kerala strengthened the consciousness of the country. This was the period when a new consciousness about freedom was engrained within the youth of every section. An entire young generation came forward dedicated to freedom. A thought was formed in the country that whatever has to be done, has to be done for the sake of freedom and has to be done now. Someone used to spin the charkha and that too for freedom. Someone used to boycott foreign goods, that too for the sake of freedom. Someone used to recite poetry, that also for freedom. Someone used to write in a book or newspaper, that too for freedom. Someone used to distribute newspaper pamphlets and that also for freedom.

Similarly, today every person, every institution, every organization has to move forward with the pledge that whatever I do should be for a developed India. The aim of your goals, your deliverance should be only one – developed India. As a teacher, think about what you will do to help the country in achieving the goal of a developed India? As a university, you should think about what to do so that India develops rapidly? What should happen in the region where you are, how should India move forward rapidly on its path of becoming developed?

Friends,

When I talk about suggestions, the sky is wide open in front of you. We have to prepare such an immortal generation in the country, which will become the leader of the country in the coming years, which will give leadership and direction to the country. We have to prepare such a young sapling of the country, who will keep the national interest supreme, who will keep his duties supreme. We do not have to be limited to just education and skills. As a citizen, it is necessary to increase efforts in this direction to ensure that the citizens of the country remain alert 24 hours a day. We have to bring that consciousness into society, whether cameras are installed or not, people should not jump the red light of traffic. People should have such a high sense of duty that they reach office on time and go ahead to work to fulfill their responsibilities. Whatever product is made here, its quality should be so good that seeing it as Made in India increases the pride of the buyer. When every citizen of the country, whatever role he plays, starts performing his duties, the country will also move forward. Now it is a topic related to the use of natural resources. When seriousness will increase regarding water conservation, when seriousness will increase regarding saving electricity, when the use of chemicals will reduce to save mother earth, when there will be seriousness towards maximum use of public transport, then the society, the country, everywhere will have a huge positive impact in the area. I can give you many such examples.

You will also agree that these are small things but their impact is very big. Your suggestions will also be important in rejuvenating the public movement for cleanliness. Your suggestions will be important for how our youth can combat the side effects of modern lifestyle.Besides their virtual worlds, it's essential for the youth to explore the world around them. As an educator, it's your responsibility to instill many such ideas in both the present and future generations. You must also embody a role model for your students. When citizens prioritize the country's welfare, it lays the foundation for a robust society. As you know, societal perspectives often reflect in governance and administration. If I talk about the field of education, there are many subjects related to it. While educational institutions grant certificates and degrees after several years of study, shouldn't we ensure that each student acquires practical skills? Only such discussions and suggestions related to them will clear the path towards a developed India. Therefore, you should proceed as a comprehensive process of brainstorming on these topics in every campus, every institute and at the state level.
