Talk on Relevance of Gandhi to Students of Kamala Nehru Polytechnic College for Women

Kamala Nehru Polytechnic College for Women organized a talk on 'Present Day Society and Relevance of Gandhi for their students on 19 July 2013.  Sri Prasad gave the talk to the 300 students and faculty.  The two-hour program focused on the essentials of Gandhian Philosophy - SARVODAYA, SWARAJ, SWADESHI AND SATYAGRAHA.  Sri Prasad initiated a dialogue with the students on the present day situation in the society from the eyes of the young generation.  They outlined the problems of present day society as they see it - Corruption, growing Violence, Environmental Pollution, Apathy of the public servants, people's representatives etc.  Sri Prasad explained that Mahatma Gandhi understood present day problems some 100 years ago and offered solutions.  He said that we have gone into a Greed Mode of society - with my welfare as the central point rather that the WELFARE OF ALL as the focal point.  Young generation should work for removing these constraints and work for a society based on Truth and Nonviolence.

The Program was organized by Ms. Chandrakala, Principal and Ramani, Librarian of Kamala Nehru Polytechnic College for Women, Exhibition Grounds, MJ Road, Hyderabad.  The students had a great inquisitiveness and keen on participating in social change activities.
