In another post, VP Dhankhar said on X, “Ours is a nation that can give guidance on inclusivity to one and all on the planet. Surely, we don’t need lessons in something we have lived through for more than 5000 years! This philosophy alone is sustainable and makes for global peace and harmony, but some people have a different concept of inclusivity that is destructive of its very essence. On the contrary, discordant voices need to gather lessons from our civilisational ethos! #Adichunchanagiri.”

“There are elements in the country that engage extensively in the dissemination of misinformation. This dissemination is very injurious to national health. Young people have to neutralize these tendencies that do not augur well for our nationalism,” said another post by the Vice President.

The Vice President also lauded Adichunchanagiri University and posted, “This institution’s service to the marginalized is exemplary: indeed a befitting response to critics of Sanatan Dharma. It is truly a visionary step to have an institution nestled in the verdant landscapes of the foothills. This makes it an ideal ‘Aranyak’ for modern-day learners, philosophers, and seekers.”

Vice-President Dhankhar interacted with the students of Adichunchanagiri University in Mandya and also launched DigiMed, an AI-driven digital education technology for medical students. (ANI)
