Hyderabad, June 15, 2025: The three-day Akhil Bharatiya Prant Pramukh Baithak of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal concluded today at Kanha Shanti Vanam, Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad). The event saw the participation of 313 eminent educators from across the country, along with over 30 Vice-Chancellors from various universities and directors of nationally significant educational institutions. The meeting was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Governor of Tripura, Shri Indrasena Reddy, and the valedictory session was addressed by Dr. Manmohan Vaidya, former Sah-Sarkaryavah (Joint General Secretary) and current All India Executive Committee Member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Addressing the gathering during valedictory session, Dr. Vaidya emphasized the fundamental importance of values in life. Values are the essence that makes a human truly human. The real purpose of education is to build a value-based society, which can guide the creation of a prosperous and strong India, he said. He further added that while skills are attractive, it is values that inspire people and bring about real transformations. A skilled person attracts others, but a person with values inspires and brings change in others’ lives. Dr. Vaidya also highlighted the need for introspection and reflection in life, stating that a little pause is essential for self-contemplation and to gain clarity and momentum in one’s work. He stressed that the spirit of giving more than taking is deeply rooted in Indian values and that unwavering commitment to these values can inspire society at large. If there is dedication to the nation and values in life, it becomes easy to find time for national work, he remarked.
The meeting was organized with the objective of strengthening the Indian education system by integrating values, character-building, and Indian culture into its core. Over the three days, participants engaged in various intellectual sessions, dialogues, and workshops focusing on the Indian perspective on education, the inclusion of Indian ethos in educational policies, the necessity of value-based education, and the role of universities. This initiative by Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal is a significant step toward making India’s educational landscape fundamentally Indian, ensuring that future generations are not only knowledgeable but also culturally aware, ethical, and responsible citizens. The event was attended by the Akhil Bharatiya Executive President Shri Suhas Pednekar; General Secretary, Dr. Bharat Sharan Singh; Organizing Secretary, Shri B.R. Shankarananda; and all members of the Akhil Bharatiya Executive Committee.
