The Vice President highlighted the emphasis on Kartavya and Seva in public life and referred to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. He said that the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 envisions inclusive and sustainable development rooted in ethical values and cultural heritage, aligned with the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. In the context of rapid technological advancements, he remarked that while humanity possesses immense technological capabilities, ethical guidance remains essential. He emphasized that technology must serve human welfare and be guided by wisdom, in line with the ideal of Loka-Sangraha. Calling for the practical application of Integral Humanism, the Vice President urged stakeholders to carry forward its principles in policy and action to build a balanced and harmonious world. He also extended his best wishes for the success of the conference.
