Mr. Chandrashekhar further elaborated that not every piece of information forms part of knowledge; but knowledge is a composite of one’s own experiences. “The journey requires the desire to fly and reach as deep as roots. World harmony is the essence of all”.
Theatre personality Na Damodar Shetty emphasised the importance of every language and how language sets the foundation for trust to be built among people. “One should read and read, to improve one’s knowledge reservoir. Access to local languages helps in the improvement of knowledge,” he said.
