Bhopal: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat has asserted that Bharat is the only “pole star” that can provide right direction to the social, cultural and ideological changes taking place in the world.
He also called upon building a society that is not just limited to economic progress, but is based on fundamental principles like humanity, compassion and truth.
Bhagwat was speaking during the inauguration of the five-day training of full-time workers of Vidya Bharati Shiksha Sansthan, the educational wing of the RSS, at the Saraswati Vidya Mandir Residential School at Sharda Vihar here.
“The social, cultural and ideological changes taking place in the world need to be given direction in the light of Bharat’s Sanatan (eternal) tradition, and when many distortions are emerging in the global scenario today, Bharat is the only pole star that can provide the right direction,” a release quoted Bhagwat as saying.
“For this, it is necessary to promote education, culture and policy-making based on Indian traditions for the all-round development of society and nation,” he said.
Bhagwat stressed the need to restore moral and cultural values in the society.
