Addressing the audience, Dr. Karan Singh said, “We are a religious country. It is the speciality of our country that we have respected people who are closed to God, more than the kings and the rich people and that is why people from all the religion coexist in this country.”
Citing the first Prime Minister of the country Jawaharlal Nehru, Swami Pragyanand said that people are fighting, dying and doing all the things except living in the name of religion, religion teaches us to live, so live and let live.
Speaking about her association with the movement, Rita Bahuguna said, “I am associated with every movement in every organisation which I feel is genuine and wants to work for certain basic issues, so I became a patron just to promote the youngster to do something useful and contribute to the social structure.”
Rajiv Ranjan Singh the president of YUVA said “Every one needs employment in this country and the youth is standing in the cross road thinking where to go, so through YUVA we are trying to show them the right path”
Nearly 8.5 lakh students are associated with Yuva which started in 2007 to tackle the problem of unemployment and promoting cultural harmony.
