Gurugram, November 15 (IANS). A three-day workshop on ‘Vision for Developed India’ was organized at SGT University in Gurugram, Haryana. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat said that it is necessary to realize a developed India for the prosperity of the people of the country.
One thousand researchers participated in the workshop. ISRO Director Dr. S. Somnath told him the tricks to follow the path of development of India. He gave information about the campaigns being run across the country regarding ‘Vision for Developed India’.
Kailash Satyarthi, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, presented his views to the researchers on how to write the new story of the country through the Vedas.
RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat said, “Any coin has two sides. To understand any situation, we must discuss both the aspects.”
He said that we have to make India a developed nation for the prosperous future of our people.
Mohan Bhagwat said, “Problems of development and environment have become a complex and controversial issue in today’s time. Balancing between the two is a big challenge. Development means using technology, industry, and resources to meet the needs of human society, while protecting the environment means using natural resources in a balanced and sustainable manner, so that the natural balance is maintained. “The two seem to be in conflict with each other, as the environment is neglected in the name of development and this results in problems like pollution, climate change and loss of biodiversity.”
He said that this controversy is based on the question whether we can ignore the environment while pursuing the path of development, or whether we should conserve nature by limiting development. Human life requires that he utilizes resources as much as possible, but in this process it is not necessary that he thinks only about his own interests. Development should not just mean economic and material prosperity, quality of life, social welfare and stability should also be taken into account.
He said, “People are engaged in their own efforts for development. They try their best to raise their standard of living, looking for more opportunities. But, it is a reality that when development efforts do not result in complete success, people’s enthusiasm begins to wane. “People begin to think that development efforts have become meaningless to them, or begin to understand that if they have received higher education, they too should redirect their efforts in the right direction.”
He said, “This situation is like a disorientation, where people are not able to understand in which direction to move. Balancing both development and environment simultaneously is a difficult task, and it requires a solid approach and planning. “Until it is clear how to coordinate the two, this issue will remain deferred and will not be resolved.”
