He stressed that along with these advancements, there is a pressing need to focus on educational reforms and the overall development of children. He called for a transformative revolution in the education sector to prepare future generations for the challenges ahead.
During his speech, the Defence Minister encouraged people to view soldiers beyond their roles in warfare. He explained that a soldier embodies qualities like discipline, dedication, selflessness, and self-control, which are equally important in everyday life.
These traits, he added, are shared by great leaders such as Swami Vivekananda, Adi Shankaracharya, and Raja Ravi Varma, whose contributions to society involved social, cultural, political, and religious reforms.
