Speaking about contemporary challenges, the Vice President noted that in a rapidly changing world, children face numerous distractions and value-based dilemmas. In this context, he emphasised that institutions like Balagokulam act as guiding lights, connecting children to their roots while equipping them to face the future with confidence and clarity.

On the occasion, he highlighted the significance of Krishnarpanam, being organised as a sacred offering during the Rajatha Jayanti celebrations. Explaining its deeper meaning, he said that dedicating one’s thoughts, actions, and talents to a higher purpose embodies the essence of Lord Krishna’s teachings.
