The third day of Bharat Manthan 2026, a national seminar focusing on “Implementation of Panch Parivartan in the Context of Human Welfare: Challenges and Solutions,” was successfully आयोजित at Delhi University’s Kirori Mal College on Wednesday. The session centered on the theme of Social Harmony and witnessed participation from academicians, scholars, and students from across India. The seminar is being jointly organized by the Indraprastha Study Center, Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board of University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Central University of Haryana, and Central University of Himachal Pradesh. The six-day event, running from April 6 to April 11, aims to encourage meaningful discourse on national development and cultural values. Focus on Social Harmony The third-day session was organized by the Sanskrit Parishad of Kirori Mal College. The event began with the traditional lamp lighting ceremony and Saraswati Vandana, setting a cultural and intellectual tone for the discussions. The session featured Mithilesh Kumar as the keynote speaker and Prof. Dinesh Khattar as the chairperson. The proceedings were conducted by Dr. Rupesh Kumar Chauhan from the Sanskrit Department of Kirori Mal College. India’s Thought Tradition Promotes Equality Addressing the gathering, Mithilesh Kumar highlighted the inclusive nature of Indian philosophical traditions. He stated that the foundation of India’s intellectual heritage is rooted in the realization of the self (Atmatattva), which does not support discrimination of any kind. He further explained that whenever distortions emerged in society, India witnessed the rise of reformative thinkers like Gautama Buddha, Mahavira, and Adi Shankaracharya, who re-established the principles of equality and harmony. He emphasized that the concept and practice of “Hindu thought” inherently reject discrimination and aim at universal welfare. According to him, the ongoing efforts under the vision of Panch Parivartan seek to build a socially cohesive and aware Indian society. From ‘I’ to ‘We’: Key Message by Chairperson Chairperson Prof. Dinesh Khattar stressed the importance of collective consciousness in nation-building. He remarked that society must move beyond individualism and embrace a shared identity. “Only when we rise above ‘I’ and think in terms of ‘We’, can we build a strong, organized, and harmonious society,” he said. He added that Bharat Manthan serves as a platform to connect intellectual discussions with lived experiences and societal responsibilities. Institutional Vision and Initiative Vinod Sharma Vivek, head of the Indraprastha Study Center, presented an overview of the initiative. He highlighted the journey and objectives of Bharat Manthan and described it as a timely intellectual exercise aimed at addressing contemporary societal challenges. He noted that such discussions are essential for shaping responsible citizens and promoting cultural awareness among the youth. Participation from Eminent Academicians The event saw the presence of several distinguished academicians and intellectuals, including Prof. Rakesh Kumar Pandey, Ajey Ji (former intellectual head, North Zone), Prof. Sunil Kashyap from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Prof. Mamta Sharma from Kirori Mal College, Dr. Mukesh Mishra from Central University of Haryana, and Prof. Pradeep, among others. Their participation added depth to the discussions and encouraged interdisciplinary engagement.
