Vice-President CP Radhakrishnan will visit Kurukshetra, on November 30, Vice President’s secretariat said on Saturday.
The V-P will participate as the chief guest at the 20th convocation of the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra. He will also attend the Akhil Bhartiya Devsthanam Sammelan in Kurukshetra as the chief guest. The event is being held on the sidelines of the International Gita Mahotsav.
Earlier this week, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said India is taking the message of the Bhagavad Gita to the global stage, with more than 50 Indian missions organising parallel events as part of the International Gita Mahotsav.
Addressing the 10th edition of International Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra, he described the scripture as a universal guide to righteous living that continues to offer “inner strength and spiritual clarity” across nations and generations.
Jaishankar said the Union ministry of external affairs, along with the Haryana government, the Kurukshetra Development Board, and the partner state, Madhya Pradesh, is working to internationalise the Mahotsav this year. As the lead organisation in this effort, the Ministry has “played a pivotal role in amplifying the Gita’s resonance across continents,” he said.
