PRAYAGRAJ: Newly appointed president of VHP Kashi Prant Kavindra Pratap Singh on Monday said the organisation will focus on encouraging Hindu families to inculcate "sanskar" among the youths who are blindly following western culture overlooking their great values and traditions.
The VHP believes that families could play a pivotal role in promoting Indian culture and tradition among children.
Speaking to TOI, Singh said: "Apart from VHP running 'sansksarshalas' at different slum pockets of the city, we have been encouraging the elders of the Hindu families to teach their wards about rich Indian culture and traditions."
Retired inspector general of police Singh was appointed new president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of Kashi prant at a meeting of VHP central management committee in Indore on Sunday.
Singh said: "We have drafted a plan which includes a series of campaigns where the youth will be taught about rich culture, heritage, festivals and biographies of great men. There is also need to connect people of all Hindu society and particularly youngsters should know about the lives of great personalities like Swami Vivekanand, Maharshi Valmiki, Sant Ravidas, Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, Swami Dayashankar Saraswati, Savitribai Phule etc."
