‘Meeting point’ is essential for society to thrive: Prof. B. A. Viveka Rai
In his address, Prof. B. A. Viveka Rai observed that ‘Beedi Deepada Belaku’ is a metaphor for a ‘rendezvous’ or meeting point for people under the street light. “Meeting point is a platform which rises above our differences like caste, creed or background. We need a meeting point in all aspects of life. Only then society can thrive. This book is a manifesto for keeping good relations,” he said.
On the same occasion another book ‘Idam Shareeram’, which is a compilation of tributes by Chetana, a staff member of N. G. Mohan, was presented to him as a gift on this special occasion.
