Jaipur. Yuva Sathi Organisation successfully organised a meaningful and impactful pre-event programme ahead of the upcoming ‘Lokmanthan’. The event was graced by the presence of Dr. Ramesh Agrawal, Regional Sanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Cabinet Minister in the Rajasthan Government.
The programme commenced with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp and Saraswati Vandana. Cultural performances showcased the richness, diversity, and vibrancy of Indian culture.
Founder and President of Yuva Sathi Organisation, Manu Kamboj, delivered the welcome address and explained the vision and objectives of Lokmanthan. He described Lokmanthan as a broad national platform aimed at encouraging meaningful dialogue and intellectual churning within society. He informed that the upcoming Lokmanthan event will be organised in Jaipur in December, with participation expected from across the country.
In his thought-provoking address, Dr. Ramesh Agrawal highlighted the greatness of Indian culture through the principle of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” stating that Indian culture teaches the world to view humanity as one family. He described “Integral Humanism” as the core of Indian philosophy and said it is not merely an idea but a way of life that establishes harmony between individuals, society, and nature.
He further spoke about the profound aspects of Indian philosophy and emphasised that India’s cultural framework beautifully balances unity within diversity, making it a guiding force for the world. He urged the youth to understand and embrace their cultural roots in their daily lives.
Addressing the youth, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said that India’s greatest strength lies in its young population, and if the youth utilise their time, energy, and ideas in the right direction, India can become a global leader. He encouraged young people not to remain mere spectators but to become active participants in bringing positive change.
He said that meaningful discussions on Indian culture, civilisation, and contemporary issues by the youth would represent the true spirit of Lokmanthan. He also stressed the importance of complete dedication and focus in every task. Rathore urged the youth to stay connected to their roots, recognise their inner potential, and channel their energy constructively to create a distinct identity in society.
Highlighting the digital age, he remarked that while information is abundant today, true knowledge and wise thinking are what make individuals exceptional. Therefore, youth should develop depth in their thoughts and understand their responsibilities towards society.
Concluding his address, he said that when young people stay rooted in their traditions while embracing modernity, they not only achieve personal success but also guide the nation towards a brighter future.
At the end of the programme, Anand Poddar, Director of Poddar Group of Institutions, delivered the vote of thanks. The programme concluded with the National Anthem.
