While respecting our culture is important, I hope the focus also remains on practical education and job skills. The mantra is for inner peace, but degrees are for survival in today's competitive world. A balanced approach is needed.

The security arrangements sound immense! It must be a huge logistical challenge for Uttarakhand Police across three districts. Kudos to them for the detailed planning. Jai Hind!

Interesting to see the connection between a senior political leader and spiritual organizations like the Gayatri Parivar. Shows how intertwined culture and governance can be in India.

Haridwar is the perfect place for such messages of spirituality and duty. Hope the students take his words to heart. Our ancient values are what make us unique as a nation.

"Forget your degrees" is a very strong statement from a Home Minister. I understand the sentiment, but it could be misinterpreted. Education and values must go hand-in-hand, not one over the other.
