Congress President Sonia Gandhi attended the 105th birthday celebrations of the highly respected Lingayat seer Shivakumara Swami at 'Siddaganga Mutt' at Tumkur in Bangalore and paid respects to the seer and appreciated the services of the great seer as well the institutions under his Mutt for dedicated service for the society mainly in the field of education.
“Swami jee’s life-mission is an embodiment of these principles” said Sonia Gandhi. “The institutions he had inspired and created, seek not only to provide the young people with a conventional education but places equal emphasis on character building and moral values” added the Congress President. Sonia Gandhi also said that the students who emerge from these institutions will be well suited to meet the challenges in the adult life and contributing in nation building and a better society.
Sonia Gandhi informed that the right to education has now become a fundamental right. “The primary education has been made a fundamental right. It is for all of us to ensure that this right is asserted and imposed so that all of India’s children from 6 years to 14 years receive free education,” urged the Congress President.
Sonia Gandhi added that nothing exemplifies India’s diversity better than Karnataka itself, where people belonging to different culture, believing in different faith and speaking different languages have lived together and worked for peace and harmony with each other.
Sonia Gandhi also stressed that education must inculcate respect for the wonderful diversities of our society. “It is this diversity that has given us strength. Beneath this diversity lays the continuity and unity of our great nation,” reiterated Sonia Gandhi.
