RSS Chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat to attend 'Chintan Baithak, Education Conference' in Kerala
Around 80 prominent educationists working at the national level are expected to participate in the Baithak in which the RSS Chief will attend as chief guest, said A. Vinod, National Co-ordinator of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas.
Discussions will include topics such as Bharatiya knowledge traditions, Bharatiya languages, modern education systems that foster self-reliance among the youth, life values, civic awareness, and environmental education. The Baithak will outline a roadmap in education for a Viksit Bharat.
The Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, which has been actively working for the last 20 years in the field of education to promote and integrate Bharatiya perspectives and indigenous content, will organise the event at the Adi Shankara Nilayam, the birthplace of Adi Shankaracharya and centre of the Chinmaya International Foundation.
Along with the organisational achievements, the meeting will evaluate the initiatives of Nyas, like 'Jñānotsavs' and the 'Jñāna Mahakumbh', which have been organised over the past five years to bring together various educational institutions working towards reinstating Bharatiya values in the education sector.
A separate education conference (Jñāna Sabha) will be held on July 27 and 28 at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, with participation from universities, central and state educational institutions, educational agencies, and private educational entrepreneurs who are contributing uniquely to the Bharatiya in education.
Vice Chancellors and Directors from around 200 institutions across Bharat will attend this gathering. The central theme of this Jñāna Sabha is "Education for a Viksit Bharat".
Distinguished personalities, including Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and spiritual leader), Sri Sri Ravishankar (Acharya of Jeevan Kala), H. Nagendra (Chancellor of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana), M (spiritual leader), and yoga guru Baba Ramdev, will grace the occasion.
The conference aims to deliberate on how collective efforts in education can pave the way for a developed Bharat. It will emphasise how upcoming generations can be prepared to face global challenges by integrating life values, civic consciousness, social harmony, and simple environmentally sustainable living as core elements of education.
The follow-up of Sankalpa Patras resolved at the Jñāna Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj and the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), especially on evaluation and research, will also be discussed.
To ensure the successful conduct of the conference, a meeting of workers will be held on June 27 at BTH in Ernakulam, he said.

Kishan Reddy highlights youth's role in building Viksit Bharat
Hyderabad, July 12 (UNI) Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy today highlighted the crucial role of India's youth in realising the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Viksit Bharat 2047' Speaking at the 16th Rozgar Mela at Rail Kalarang in Secunderabad, he congratulated the 51,000 newly appointed youth across India and urged them to play a key role in building a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. He said the Modi government has so far provided over 10.5 lakh government jobs through Rozgar Melas and is committed not just to creating jobs but also empowering youth to become job creators. Citing the success of Startup India, he noted that over 1.60 lakh startups have generated 17.6 lakh jobs, especially in smaller towns, reducing the need to migrate for employment. Highlighting women's participation, he said 68 per cent of 52 crore Mudra loans were given to women and over 1 crore women are now earning above Rs 1 lakh annually under the Lakhpati Didi scheme. Women's labour force participation has grown from 23 per cent in 2017–18 to 41.7 per cent in 2023–24, with unemployment among women dropping to 3.2 per cent. On the skilling front, he said 1.6 crore youth have been trained under the PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana, including in emerging sectors like AI, drones, and cybersecurity. A National Skill Training Institute will be set up in Hyderabad with Rs 1,000 crore. He also mentioned paid internships in top 500 companies and a push to create 3.5 crore new jobs in the next two years through employment-linked incentives. He highlighted that India now has the third-largest startup ecosystem, is leading globally in digital transactions, and ranks second in internet usage. The country is now self-reliant in defence production, manufacturing battle tanks, missiles, and submarines domestically. Calling the youth India's greatest strength, Kishan Reddy said that with their dedication and the government's support, no one can stop the country's rise. In his concluding remarks, Kishan Reddy urged the newly appointed government employees to remember the contributions of their parents and teachers and to serve the country with dedication and responsibility. He said that if the sincerity of the youth is matched with the government's initiatives, India's progress will be unstoppable. 'Let us walk together and build a new India that the world will admire,' he said, extending his best wishes to all the new recruits. UNI VV RKM

Religious conversions a deep conspiracy, won't be tolerated: CM Yogi
Lucknow, July 12 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, described illegal religious conversions a calculated conspiracy to undermine the nation's identity and social fabric, asserting that the Uttar Pradesh government is taking firm action to curb the menace. 'Some forces are deliberately trying to alter the fundamental character of the country through unlawful conversions. This is an attack on social cohesion and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances,' said the Chief Minister while addressing the flagging-off ceremony of Shri Tegh Bahadur Sandesh Yatra. The ceremony was held at his official residence and dedicated to the 350th Shaheedi Varsh of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji Maharaj. CM Yogi underlined that marginalised communities, particularly Scheduled Castes, are being lured, or coerced into, changing their religion. He emphasised that such acts go against the spirit of the Constitution and the principle of social equality. At the event, the Chief Minister welcomed and honoured the Sandesh Yatra by showering flower petals. The Yatra, which commenced from Lucknow, will pass through Kanpur, Etawah, and Agra before culminating at Chandni Chowk and the historic Sis Ganj Gurudwara in Delhi—the site of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's martyrdom. A commemorative memento was also presented to the Chief Minister to mark the occasion. During his address, he highlighted the recent Balrampur case, where a large-scale illegal conversion racket backed by foreign funding was unearthed. He revealed that over Rs 100 crore was found transacted across 40 accounts, with pre-determined 'rates' for conversion. He termed this a grave threat to both economic and social security. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the 350-year-old legacy of martyrdom is being revived through this yatra, serving as a powerful reminder of the oppressive era under Aurangzeb's rule. He noted that the Mughal ruler sought to suppress Sanatan Dharma and impose Islamic dominance. 'In the face of tyranny, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji chose martyrdom over compromise, standing firm on the path of righteousness,' the Chief Minister remarked. "His martyrdom continues to inspire future generations with its message of unwavering faith and courage. The entire yatra is rooted in the tradition of sacrifice and resilience. As we commemorate Shaheedi Diwas, we are reminded of the immense struggles and sacrifices that paved the way for India to emerge as a free and strong nation," he added. CM Yogi stressed the need to preserve the legacy of sacrifice set by Sikh Gurus and to resist attempts to divide Hindus and Sikhs. 'Such conspiracies have been attempted before and will continue to surface, but we must remain vigilant and united,' he said. He stated that the Shaheedi Diwas inspires people to carry forward the Gurus' legacy and adapt it to modern-day strategies to ensure no community or individual is ever forced to abandon their culture or religion. Referring to national celebrations such as the 550th Prakash Parv and the Veer Bal Diwas, the CM acknowledged the central government's efforts to elevate these observances to national prominence. He also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for officially declaring December 26 as Veer Bal Diwas, in honour of the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas. UNI MBD RKM
