Thiru Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja said, “Music is my
everything. This is the first time I am attending any such event to see you
all, coming out of my own world. Music has a lot of power. If music is
incorporated into academic curriculums, violence would be eradicated, because
you cannot do violence when you have music in your heart.”
Dr. Vandana Shiva said, “Earth and human beings are not
separate entities. We are connected to the earth. The 5 gifts of Gandhiji
namely Swaraj, Democracy, Swadeshi, Satyagraha and Sarvodaya have been very useful
to me throughout my life and I am sure they will benefit you as well. You, the
students are like seeds for the idea of organic India. Each one of you has a
lot of potential.”
Dr. Abhay Firodia, said, “There has been a staggering
change in infrastructure in the rural parts of the country. There is a lot of
positive change and development. We shouldn’t get influenced by press that
keeps propagating unhappiness. Youth shouldn’t get misled knowing that the
development isn’t as bad as the press keeps showing.”
Dr. Vishwanath Karad said, “Always remember that your Parents
have expectations from you and it is your duty to respect them and not do
anything that would make them feel ashamed of you. Try to learn about the rich
history and heritage that our Indian culture carries. Do not follow the West.”
Rahul Karad addressed the gathering and said, “The Bharatiya
Chhatra Sansad is not an event, it is a mission. It is the only platform in the
vastness of the country that urges educated people to come to polity. It is a
simple but very important idea. MIT-School of Government, the only school in
the country to create future political leaders.” Nilam Sharma and Prof. Gautam
Bapat Compered the function. Prof. D.P.Apte gave the vote of thanks.
