Dhanbad, Dec 12: Prof. Ramkumar Singh, Vice-Chancellor of Binod Bihari Mahto Koylanchal University (BBMKU), Dhanbad, highlighted the contributions of the great Tamil poet Subramania Bharati, describing him as a symbol of India’s unity in diversity. Prof. Singh stated that Bharati’s creative works played a significant role in igniting national consciousness during the freedom movement.
Unity in Diversity and Indian Language Festival
Addressing a seminar on the topic ‘Unity in Diversity and Indian Language Festival’ as the chief guest, Prof. Singh remarked, “India is a country of immense diversity, where people from various castes, communities, and linguistic backgrounds coexist. This diversity is the beauty and identity of our nation, embodying unity in diversity.”
He further said, “The great Tamil poet Subramania Bharati was an Indian writer, polyglot, journalist, teacher, social reformer, and freedom activist. His creative contributions sparked national consciousness during the freedom struggle.”
The Vice-Chancellor explained that this is the reason why the University Grants Commission (UGC) decided to commemorate Bharati’s birthday as the Indian Language Festival, aiming to raise awareness about the country’s diverse languages, cultures, and traditions.
