Lucknow, 16 November (HS). Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel on Saturday inaugurated the program ‘Samvadi: Celebration of Expression’ organized by Dainik Jagran Group. Describing this forum as a medium of dialogue, ideas and positive change in the society, he described it as a very important event.
In his address, the Governor said that dialogue is the basis of knowledge and the richness of Indian knowledge tradition has been due to this dialogue.

Highlighting the importance of dialogue and the current scenario, he said that the world is changing rapidly, and richness of knowledge is possible only through deep and powerful dialogue. In the age of social media, phones and the internet, the deep and ideological impact of dialogue is often missing.

Giving the example of dialogues between Shri Krishna and Barbarik, he said that deep truths of life and socially useful facts can be studied through them. The Governor said that we should present our research work to the society so that its benefits can be availed on a wide scale. The Governor inspired the students to read old books of Indian literature. He said that there is an immense store of knowledge hidden in them, whose analysis and dissemination is necessary.
