Your love for Bhartiya Bhasha & encouraging the youth of our country to embrace their roots is truly inspiring. Thank you for being so open, and allowing the space to share some ideas that would make our classrooms more vibrant and interactive.

Wonderful to see this! Promoting Bharatiya Bhasha and connecting youth to their roots is crucial. As a teacher, I hope some of these ideas actually get implemented and don't just remain a photo-op. Fingers crossed!

Respect for Vikrant. From '12th Fail' to this meeting, he walks the talk. His journey from TV to National Award is itself a lesson in perseverance for our youth. A true inspiration.

While I appreciate the intent, I hope this leads to concrete action. We've seen many celebrities meet ministers with great captions, but where is the follow-through? The education system needs more than just meetings.

His note mentions "embracing roots" – this is key. In the rush to be global, we shouldn't forget our languages and culture. Glad someone with his influence is highlighting this. Jai Hind!
