In a world facing increasing division, stress, and a lack of trust, he stressed that this philosophy offers a path to harmony through religion, guided by values such as duty, truth, compassion, and service.
The Vice President asserted that true development must be holistic, nurturing the body, mind, intellect, and soul while maintaining balance with nature. He emphasized the importance of duty and service in public life and referenced Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.’ He stated that the goal of a developed India by 2047 is based on moral values and cultural heritage, linked to the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.’
Regarding rapid technological advancements, he remarked that while humanity possesses vast technological capabilities, ethical guidance is essential. He emphasized that technology should serve human welfare and be employed wisely in accordance with public welfare ideals.
Calling for the practical application of Integral Humanism, the Vice President urged stakeholders to promote its principles in policy and action to create a balanced and harmonious world. He also extended his best wishes for the success of the conference.
