Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar/Jaipur, 21 November (HS). Governor Haribhau Bagde has said that human life is not important, what is important is how a person lives it ideally. He said that success is achieved only by those who work hard continuously. Only those who work for the glorious history of the country’s culture and achievements are revered. Discussing the Padma Awards, he said that they are given in various fields so that the young generation can move forward towards a better life by taking inspiration from the recipients.
Governor Bagde was addressing the inauguration ceremony of ‘Third Padma Festival’ organized by Gyan Yagya Foundation in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar on Thursday. While reciting the lines from the poem ‘The boat cannot cross due to fear of waves, those who try are never defeated’, he said that victory is achieved only by those who make continuous efforts. He called upon the youth to work continuously for ‘developed India’. He said that it is a very good initiative that a foundation is taking the initiative to inspire the young generation by organizing dialogue programs with Padma awardees. He said that the sacrifice of knowledge is most important in life.
Bagde said that the meaning of culture is that it should be continuous which leads to change. He said that Indian knowledge has no limits. That is why Indian culture still maintains its identity across the world because it has the ability to carry along with new changes. The fragrance of rituals is present in it.
In the beginning, while congratulating the Padma awardees, he praised the initiative of Gyan Foundation. On this occasion, Umesh Takalkar of the Foundation gave the welcome address. While giving the presidential address, Milind Kelkar described the Padma award dialogue by ‘Gyanayagya’ as important.

Under these, others will also be able to get inspiration from their knowledge. He told that this third Padmat Utsav has been organized as part of working on the culture and arts of the country on the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence.
