Kochi, June 13 (UNI) RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat will attend the 'National Chintan Baithak and Education Conference' to be held on July 25, 26 and 27 at Piravom in Kerala. Around 80 prominent educationists working at the national level are expected to participate in the Baithak in which the RSS Chief will attend as chief guest, said A. Vinod, National Co-ordinator of Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas. Discussions will include topics such as Bharatiya knowledge traditions, Bharatiya languages, modern education systems that foster self-reliance among the youth, life values, civic awareness, and environmental education. The Baithak will outline a roadmap in education for a Viksit Bharat. The Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, which has been actively working for the last 20 years in the field of education to promote and integrate Bharatiya perspectives and indigenous content, will organise the event at the Adi Shankara Nilayam, the birthplace of Adi Shankaracharya and centre of the Chinmaya International Foundation. Along with the organisational achievements, the meeting will evaluate the initiatives of Nyas, like 'Jñānotsavs' and the 'Jñāna Mahakumbh', which have been organised over the past five years to bring together various educational institutions working towards reinstating Bharatiya values in the education sector. A separate education conference (Jñāna Sabha) will be held on July 27 and 28 at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, with participation from universities, central and state educational institutions, educational agencies, and private educational entrepreneurs who are contributing uniquely to the Bharatiya in education. Vice Chancellors and Directors from around 200 institutions across Bharat will attend this gathering. The central theme of this Jñāna Sabha is "Education for a Viksit Bharat". Distinguished personalities, including Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and spiritual leader), Sri Sri Ravishankar (Acharya of Jeevan Kala), H. Nagendra (Chancellor of Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana), M (spiritual leader), and yoga guru Baba Ramdev, will grace the occasion. The conference aims to deliberate on how collective efforts in education can pave the way for a developed Bharat. It will emphasise how upcoming generations can be prepared to face global challenges by integrating life values, civic consciousness, social harmony, and simple environmentally sustainable living as core elements of education. The follow-up of Sankalpa Patras resolved at the Jñāna Maha Kumbh held in Prayagraj and the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), especially on evaluation and research, will also be discussed. To ensure the successful conduct of the conference, a meeting of workers will be held on June 27 at BTH in Ernakulam, he said. UNI DS ARN

Nripendra Misra's good counsel deserves saffronites' attention
There are 'limits' to correcting historical wrongs, Nripendra Misra recently told a newspaper. It is a sagacious remark that has come not a moment too soon. Misra is Ayodhya Ram temple's officer-architect-in-chief; he also headed the temple construction committee which was set up in February 2020. Additionally, he served as the principal secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi throughout his entire first term. By all accounts, he is a man of the system—and of the saffron ecosystem. Three years ago, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat made a similar statement against the backdrop of the Gyanvapi dispute. 'Why escalate the fight? Why look for a 'Shivling' in every Masjid?' he had asked Mohan Bhagwat while addressing the concluding ceremony of the third-year RSS officer training camp in Nagpur. Now that the Ram Temple has been built, would there be closure to other temple controversies or more claims would arise? Misra said, 'I place this responsibility not so much on the government. It will have to be of various social groups, representatives, elected or not elected—they must recognise. They have limits on correcting issues.' By shifting the responsibility from the government to broader society—social groups, elected and unelected representatives—he underscores the importance of collective wisdom and restraint. His perspective suggests that healing and reconciliation are not solely the work of political institutions but also civil society. The maturity of a nation is often judged not just by its ability to confront its past, but also by its capacity to move beyond it constructively. Misra's remarks advocate for a forward-looking approach, one that does not become trapped in an endless cycle of retribution or religious one-upmanship. His advice must be heeded not just by the general public but also by those in positions of influence—especially individuals and organisations with ideological stakes in temple reclamation. Misra, with his considerable standing in the administrative and cultural spheres, is well-placed to guide this discourse. His voice carries credibility and gravitas, and he must use this to ensure that zealous elements within the saffron camp do not attempt to stake claims on more religious structures—be they mosques, dargahs, or other sites of shared heritage. India's cultural and religious landscape is layered and complex. Addressing every historical grievance by altering places of worship risks unsettling the delicate pluralism that has long defined the nation. Such pursuits would only lead to further polarisation, unrest, and alienation of communities. Misra's call to acknowledge limits is a call for societal maturity. The Ram Temple should, ideally, be seen as a closure—a symbolic culmination rather than a beginning of further contentious campaigns. There must be a conscious effort to ensure that the temple serves as a bridge between communities, rather than a wedge. If the temple's construction is to have a truly unifying legacy, then the rhetoric and actions surrounding it must reflect reconciliation, not triumphalism. In this context, Misra's cautionary words gain even more relevance. Leaders from all walks of life—political, religious, intellectual—must rally around the idea that true justice and national harmony lie in peaceful coexistence, not in the pursuit of perpetual cultural correction. The time to heal is now, and that healing can only come through restraint, empathy, and a shared vision for the future.
