J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha hails Savarkar’s vision, calls for ‘countering false narratives’

Paying homage to Savarkar, the lieutenant governor said: “Veer Savarkar International Impact Award sends a message that time has come to reclaim India’s ancient glory and dedicate ourselves to achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat @ 2047”.

He commended HRDS India for “reminding the world about Savarkar’s unmatched contribution to the motherland”, urging the award winners to be “the light to guide humanity towards peace, progress and prosperity”.

Earlier, addressing the anniversary celebrations of a private school in Jammu, he called upon schools and educational institutions to have one single aim — creating unique individuals for future challenges.

“The world is experiencing transformative changes driven by cutting-edge technologies and schools must focus on using new tools to aid creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills,” he said, adding that critical thinking and curiosity are the greatest strengths of students and calling on teachers and parents to allow students to study based on their interests, passions, and abilities to develop talent without pressure.

“The dual goals for educators are to make students college-ready and future-ready and to familiarise them with continuously evolving skill sets, transforming them into 21st-century global citizens,” he said.
