This was announced by Chief Minister Chouhan at the lecture “Ekatma Manavwad Philosophy and Role of Media” organised by the university to mark 98th birth anniversary of Pt Deendayal Upadhyay on Wednesday. The Chief Minister is also Chairman of the university’s General Council.
In very simple words, the Chief Minister explained concept of inclusive humanism with examples. He said that the same consciousness permeates entire world. Human beings, animals and environmental elements depend on each other for happy and peaceful existence. He said that human being is an amalgam of body, heart, wisdom and soul. Sorrow and crises crop up if coordination between them is disturbed.
He said that monarchy, democracy, communism and capitalism all failed to give simultaneous spiritual bliss and material prosperity. He said that public welfare schemes of Madhya Pradesh are inspired and based on Ekatma Manavwad of Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay.
Giving examples of ladli laxmi Yojana, initiative for scholarships to poor students, Tirth-Darshan Yojana, loans for education, Yuva Swarozgar Yojana and scheme to provide wheat and rice at the rate of Re. one per kg to the poor, efforts have been made to implement Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay’s Ekatma Manavwad.
Impressing upon university’s students, Chouhan said that the way body, heart, wisdom and soul make a human being the same applies to formation of society. He said that shortage and abundance of money are both bad. Regarding role of media, Chouhan said that it is necessary to examine news in its totality. Exaggeration in presentation conceals truth.
Public Relations Minister Rajendra Shukla was especially present on the occasion. The CM was accorded a warm welcome for visiting the premises for the first time and handed over a citation on behalf of the University. The CM released books and in-house Journal of the university. Director PR lajpat Ahuja and media experts were present on the occasion. Vice-chancellor BK Kuthiyala proposed a vote of thanks.
