Kum. B.Radha Devi,Join Sey VKV-APT

Kum B.Radha Devi, Join Secretary of Vivekananda Kendra Arunachal Pradesh Trust was the invited speaker in the program. After completion of presentations by all the youth group representatives Kum.B.Radha Devi has done the summing up beautifully in her own unique way. In her speech she appreciated all the participants’ for their involvement in the program and the way some of the youth speakers expressed their views. One girl student of Dibru college during her presentation while speaking about the villagers of Assam has shown her great maturity by correcting herself after saying “most of the people in the villages are uneducated “ by immediately saying “It will be improper to say uneducated, it  will be illiterate”. Which was very much appreciated by Kum B.Radha Devi by saying ”how nice to see a young girl could differentiate between educated and literate”. “Education in Indian perspective is much more than the academic qualification one posses or the bundle of information stored in ones’  memory” she continues” It is the moral values or noble qualities which  get expressed in every attitude, action, feelings, relationships and commitments as a result of real education” . One of the youth participants also mentioned that in India even in this modern time some people believes in superstitions.  We need to educate them so that they can overcome their blind believe.  In respond to this Radhadidi said that “No doubt there are some superstition exists but we cannot say that all are bogus. There are lot more believe systems and rituals still exist in India which since thousands of years are nurturing the inner greatness to its ultimate manifestation. They are all time tested. One generation passes it to the next generation. They are better known as ‘Sanskara’. It has been the basic foundation of social structure of our motherland since ancient time but never loses its relevance.   It was an integral aspect of our education system since then”. She continues her speech with many such explanation, instances and references which were very attentively, eagerly with interest listened by the youth participants. She concluded her speech by saying “Right thought lead us to right act, right act lead us to right result and right result lead us to right rewards. So take care of your thought first the rest will follow itself.”

The program is concluded with a vedi hymn
