While launching an education campaign ‘New Education for New India’ of Brahma Kumaris, Sambalpur (Odisha) on Wednesday, President Droupadi Murmu said moral education helps in building life and brings positive changes in society. 

“Moral education makes us aware of the life values of compassion, kindness, friendship and fraternity,” the President said, adding that the campaign is envisaged to inculcate values and uplift the consciousness of students.

Murmu, who is on the concluding day of her three-day visit to Odisha, stated that education has always played an important and transformative role in society building.

She said, “Moral and human values like service, equality and sympathy are the foundation of our culture and youth should be familiar with these great ideals.”.

Suggesting the younger generation to take care of their elderly parents and people from the deprived sections of society, Murmu said that positive attitude towards these values should be created in the minds of children through education.

“Positive changes can occur in an individual having qualities such as compassion, kindness, friendship and fraternity. Positive changes in an individual can result a better society,” she said.

She also lauded the Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya for making the path to happiness, peace and joy accessible through character-building, self-realisation and divine experience.
