Ujjain. The Vice President of Bharat emphasized the importance of focusing on ‘Kutumb Prabodhan’ (strengthening of families and family values) in society during his address in Ujjain. He stated that Kutumb Prabodhan is inherent in the character of Bharat and is a core principle of our culture. He said, “It is part of Bharat’s character; if we do not pay attention to the family, how will life be meaningful? We must know who is in our neighborhood, who is in our society, what their joys and sorrows are, and how we can help them. This makes life meaningful. In a time when everyone is turning towards materialism, becoming so busy that we ignore our loved ones, the nation will only thrive when the family is cared for. The nation will prosper when we care for our own. This is the core principle of our culture”.

At the 66th ‘All India Kalidas Festival’ in Ujjain today, the Vice President also drew attention to the duties of citizens, saying, “No society or country can function solely by emphasizing rights. Our Constitution grants us rights, but we must balance those rights with our duties. Citizens have responsibilities. Therefore, on this day, I urge you to reflect. We are citizens of a great Bharat. Bharatiyata is our identity. The nation must be placed above all, and every citizen must contribute to it. The best way to do this is by fulfilling our duties.”
He highlighted the need to instill awareness about civic duties and ethics in the younger generation for character building.
Emphasizing Bharat’s commitment to ‘Samajik samrasta’ [Social Harmony], he said, “Today, ‘Samajik samrasta’ is being challenged from many directions. Bharat has always stood for social harmony, world peace, and the welfare of all. We are citizens of a country that has adopted the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) and has set an example for the world. We gave the world Yoga because we think of everyone”.
