Raipur. With the changing times, those who were considered to be the leaders in Indian culture have become the subject of discussion today. It is very important to discuss this topic because Goddess Lakshmi resides in the house where elders reside. The elderly are our capital and this is also our culture. The young generation should understand this and respect the elders because one day they too have to become old.
These things were said by the subject experts and scholars in the two-day national seminar organized by the Hindi Department of MATS University, Raipur on the topic ‘Vriddha Vimarsh: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’. The chief guest of this national seminar was Pt. Ravi Shankar Shukla University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sachchidanand Shukla said that when people grow older and have immense knowledge, our society leaves them alone. Pro.
