Today, as we celebrate these remarkable change makers, we celebrate the light of Gandhi ji that still guides us. These awardees remind us that true greatness lies not in wealth or position, but in service. Those who live for themselves are forgotten, but those who live for others are remembered forever.

Our world today moves with great speed, but Gandhiji taught us that speed without direction is harmful. Education without values is like a river without water, it flows but quenches no thirst. What we need is value-based education, compassionate leadership, and truthful living.

In this age of Artificial Intelligence, let us also nurture Rishi Intelligence, wisdom, love, and compassion. Technology can fill our shelves, but only humanity can fill our self.

Let us walk the Gandhian path of satya, prem, and karuna, truth, love, and compassion, and together build a world of peace and purpose.
