Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday called upon the youth of the country and urged them to take inspiration from the sacrifices of the freedom fighters and strive towards a harmonious and inclusive society.
At the book release event on the life and parliamentary debates of Umar Alisha, the former pontiff of Viswa Vignana Vidya Adhyatmika Peetham in Visakhapatnam, Vice President observed that building a society free of all kinds of discrimination is the real tribute to the sacrifices of our freedom fighters.
Naidu also noted Alisha’s efforts in the literary and social sectors as well as for women’s empowerment.
Referring to the spiritual outlook of Umar Alisha, he suggested that religious and spiritual leaders should take the message of ‘service’ to the common people. "It should be conveyed to the people that spirituality and service are not separate, and they essentially seek social welfare,'' he added.
The Vice President said that the empowerment of women is essential for accelerated national progress. He also underlined the importance of the education of girl children for the economic prosperity of the individual, family and the nation.
