Union Coal Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy today called upon youth and students to play a key role in making the country a developed nation by 2047. He inaugurated the three-day National level Rashtriya Ekta Parv, under the aegis of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghatan in Secunderabad this morning. Speaking on the occasion, he said each Kendriya Vidyalaya is truly a “mini-India” vibrant and full of potential and they are not just providing education but nurturing a spirit of national integration.

The Minister underlined that the country’s centuries-old civilization has positively impacted the globe, serving as a Vishwaguru, a guiding light, to many. He said as part of Rashtriya Ekata Parv, the country’s rich cultural and linguistic diversity is being celebrated and India’s greatest strength lies in the ability to come together despite differences, cultivating respect and understanding among various communities, cultures, and traditions. About 1000 students from 25 regional Kendriya Vidyalas have come together on the occasion.

Rashtriya Ekta Parv is aimed at promoting national integration and appreciation for Indian culture and art.
