“ALL-round development of the society through education is the prime objective of Vidya Bharati. We have to make the society strong so that it can face all the challenges. But while working in the field, the feeling that we are uplifting the people should not come into our mind,” said RSS Sahsarkaryavah Shri Duttatreya Hosabale. He was addressing the Vidya Bharati workers at the annual general body meeting held at Saraswati Vidya Mandir in Cuttack on April 4.
He said attending the needy and the last person of the society is need of the hour. Stressing on quality improvement in education he said apart from expanding the work we should not compromise over the quality. He also spoke about the training of the Acharyas. He appealed the workers to draw inspiration from the life of Nanaji Deshmukh.
Speaking on the occasion outgoing president Shri PK Madhvan called upon the workers to work tirelessly for making India a strong nation. He said there are many challenges before the workers but they have to find ways out of them. Outgoing national organising secretary Shri Brahmdev Sharma “Bhaiji” also guided the workers.
