CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Recognizing one’s roots is essential for the youth. If we want to build a developed India, it is important for young people to understand their society and its systems. Holding onto the roots of our culture and civilization helps the youth in solving problems. These views were expressed by former Chief Election Commissioner of India, O.P. Rawat, at the launch of writer Dinesh Malviya’s book Jigyasa, Yuva aur Dharma.
He was addressing the program as the chief guest. Rawat said that if the roots of our personality are not strong, we cannot become successful individuals. Earlier, joint families existed where elders used to study and share their wisdom with the younger generation. Today, youth are successful and progressing in careers and various fields, but it is still necessary for them to remain aware of their roots. Books are very important to help us identify our mistakes and correct them. For Viksit Bharat 2047, it is crucial for our youth to stay connected to their roots. Rawat said that this book teaches us that no power can deviate us from the right path if we walk on it with conviction.
He added that the author, Malviya ji, has maintained coherence throughout the book. It is a very readable book—one that allows us to reflect in solitude. If your roots are strong, you can easily overcome any problem that arises in society.
At the beginning of the event, held in the auditorium of the University’s Department of New Media Technology, Vice Chancellor Vijay Manohar Tiwari welcomed the guests. Speaking about the book, the Vice Chancellor said that such books are necessary to understand India’s true strength. The author has addressed important issues concerning the younger generation in this book. He added that this book has come at a time when the youth are facing significant challenges. Addressing the students and young participants, the Vice Chancellor said that to stand against the wrongs in society and the system, one must first understand them. Only then can better solutions be found.
Explaining his book Jigyasa, Yuva aur Dharma, Dinesh Malviya said that he wrote it keeping in mind the youth and adolescents. Young people want to know about their religion. It is often said that many things in our ancient texts are no longer relevant, but there are many enlightening episodes that are still contemporary. Our youth should study scriptures with their own insight. They must read ancient scriptures.
At the end of the program, the University Registrar, Dr. P. Shashikala, delivered the vote of thanks. The program was conducted by Dr. Arti Sarang, Head of the Library Department. Faculty members and students of the university were present on the occasion.
