इलाहाबाद : राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ का विद्यार्थी सम्मेलन रविवार को इविवि के निराला सभागार में आयोजित किया गया। कार्यक्रम के मुख्य वक्ता डा. श्यामा प्रसाद मुखर्जी शोध संस्थान के निदेशक तरुण विजय ने कहा कि युवा ही भारत को सकारात्मक नेतृत्व दे सकते हैं। उनमें विवेकानंद जैसा जज्बा होना चाहिए। श्री तरुण विजय ने कहा कि जेहादियों और कम्युनिस्टों में कोई अंतर नहीं है। देश में बढ़ रहे आतंकवाद के लिए कट्टरता नहीं तुष्टिकरण जिम्मेदार है। कम्युनिस्ट विचारधारा अब मात्र चीन तक ही सीमित रह गई है। खासबात यह है कि वहां भी राष्ट्रवाद महत्वपूर्ण हो गया है। उन्होंने गत वर्ष मुम्बई में हुए हमले के लिए भ्रमित भावनाओं को जिम्मेदार बताया। कहा कि सरकार को हमले के मूल में जाकर आतंकवाद की समस्या का हल निकालना होगा। इविवि के अंग्रजी विभाग के प्रो. कृष्ण गोपाल श्रीवास्तव ने कहा कि युवाओं को स्वामी विवकानंद से प्रेरणा लेनी चहिए। कार्यक्रम के आरम्भ में अतिथियों ने भारत माता के चित्र पर माल्यार्पण किया। वेदपाठी बच्चों के मंत्रोच्चार से समारोह में अध्यात्म की धारा बही। कार्यक्रम का संचालन रामशिरोमणि मिश्र ने किया। इस अवसर पर राणाकृष्ण पाल, आलोक मालवीय व अरिवंद मिश्रा सहित बड़ी संख्या में स्वयंसेवक व वेद विद्यालयों के छात्र उपस्थित रहे।

On 26th June 1987, Param Veer Chakra Awardee, Naib Subedar Bana Singh led his platoon on the Siachen glacier, at a height of nearly 5000 metres, against a Pakistani post which was threatening Indian security. The post was virtually an impregnable glacier fortress with ice walls on all sides. Lobbing hand-grenades, charging with a bayonet and moving from trench to trench, he cleared the post of all intruders. For this act of valor N. Sub. Bana Singh received from the hands of H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar the 2008 FACT Shivaji Award of Courage.
