He said that national power is possible only with student power, only then India will become developed and a world leader.
Union Minister Nityanand Rai said here on Saturday that the revolution in today's India will not be born from Lal Salaam, but from the scientific zeal among students. Remembering Swami Vivekananda, he said that Vivekananda has played an important role in the enlightenment of national consciousness. Swami Vivekananda's childhood name was Narendra and in today's India too, a Prime Minister named Narendra is sowing the seeds of India and Indianness. He saluted the contribution of teachers in the society.
Nityanand Rai said that it is the responsibility of the teachers to sow the seeds of quality in as many students as possible and it is the responsibility of the students to absorb as much as possible from their teachers.
ABVP National General Secretary Yagyavalkya Shukla said that Ravindra Kesari was filled with the spirit of serving the country since childhood. He was a hardworking and efficient administrator. In those days when there were only a few ABVP workers in Bihar, he contributed significantly in building the organization with hard work and dedication even in those difficult circumstances. His entire life has been dedicated to Bihar and the organization.
Shukla gave a historical description of the contribution of teachers in nation building. He said that the contribution of teachers has ranged from the establishment of empires to the concept of Ram Rajya and defeating the power of Alexander. A nation is built only when the Guru and the disciple come together. The path of the Guru and the disciple is the path of unity. He said that Bihar has been a land of knowledge. Our Gurus have nurtured it with their penance, sacrifice and initiation. We need to build on this foundation and we need to be proud of our Bihari identity.
