Guwahati, Nov 14: Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday called for community commitment to shape the future of children by building on the foundation set by India’s rich heritage.

Attending a state-level child drama competition at Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra here, Sonowal said children must be guided to move ahead on the foundation set by India’s rich heritage with a robust value system.

“Children are the best assets of today for a stronger nation tomorrow. Hence, their minds should be carefully caressed with rational thinking, clarity of thought and cultural ethos so that they can move ahead to unlock opportunities to build a better and brighter tomorrow,” the minister said.

The competition was organised as part of the silver jubilee celebration of Guwahati Sishu Natya Vidyalaya on the occasion of Children’s Day.

“I am immensely happy to be a part of this wonderful event to commemorate the silver jubilee celebrations of Guwahati Sishu Natya Vidyalaya. Your noble initiative to champion our children’s effort to participate in this drama competition will help our young minds to take the flight of imagination to explore limitless possibilities,” Sonowal said.

Parents of the students also interacted with the Union minister where the need for measures to preserve and conserve nature was also emphasised for the future of the children.

“Beyond climate, it is also important that children are equipped to deal with the complexities of the modern world. This can be done with the help of a healthy body, mind and soul, which is the greatest wealth of any individual,” the minister said.

“Our rich traditions in ayurvidya and yoga provide wonderful platforms for health and spiritual empowerment,” he said.
