Sharing concerns over acute unemployment in the state, he said that in the present scenario, not everybody can expect a government job or white collar job expounding that 'real education today is to master the art' rather than to take pride of a degree pointing over our attitude of dependency and complacency on government jobs. He stressed on the need to revive our age old diminishing culture. “Culture is not about traditional songs and dances not we need to distinguish between religion and culture,” he noted adding that “work culture needs to be reinstated” to our present lifestyle.
“Simple etiquettes of addressing our parents, elders are worth re-cultivating,” the speaker said while pointing that unlike other western societies, “we have a rich culture and heritage.”
With the exposure of media and technology and good quality and accessible education in our disposal, he urged to take advantage of the amenities.
“We need to ponder on you and me or as an individual person on how we can contribute to the society,” he further added.
