Value-based education is the foundation of a better society: DPP Secretary Dr Medasani Mohan
TIRUPATI, AUGUST 24, 2026: Promoting moral values, good conduct, spiritual awareness and knowledge of Sanatana Dharma among students is the main objective of the “Sadgamaya” programme, said TTD Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishad Secretary Dr. Medasani Mohan.
Dr. Mohan inaugurated the programme at Sri Govindaraja Swamy High School, Tirupati, on Monday, under the aegis of TTD Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishad.
He said education combined with values, culture and spiritual awareness helps build responsible citizens and a better society. Students will be introduced to the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, epics, Puranas, Bhagavad Gita and the lives of great personalities.
Through “Sadgamaya”, students will be encouraged to develop discipline, self-confidence, devotion, truthfulness, good conduct, patriotism and respect for Indian culture.
Students will learn moral verses, Subhashitas and selected poems, understand their meaning and practise them in daily life. This will help improve their memory, concentration, communication skills and moral character, he said.
Dr. Mohan advised students to draw inspiration from young devotees such as Prahlada, Dhruva and Nachiketa, particularly their devotion, courage, concentration and determination.
He said the programme aims to complement regular education with value-based and spiritual education, helping students grow into disciplined, cultured and responsible citizens.
