Calling on people to revisit the lives of freedom fighters, and learn about their contributions and sacrifices for the country, Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu said all Indians are duty-bound to celebrate their lives.
“We must include life stories of freedom fighters and social reformers in school textbooks to inspire younger generations. People should also visit places like the Statue of Unity and the Cellular Jail to learn about their sacrifices,” he said.
Mr. Naidu was speaking at the inaugural programme of the three-day Rashtriya Sanskriti Mahotsav (National Cultural Festival), flagship festival of the Ministry of Culture to take the country’s vibrant cultural diversity to the masses, at the NTR stadium here on Friday.
