Kovind said that this emphasis on girl’s education – which is so vital for our society and our country – and on the poor is in keeping with the idealism of the Sangha’s founders.
Imparting of education is a sacred task. Far beyond commercial and personal interests, its motivation must be to equip young minds and help build our nation. That would also be in keeping with the principles of Shri Basaveshwar and Shri Gurubasava Swamiji #PresidentKovind
