"Hinduism doesn't accept conversions. Hindus try to reverse conversions," Bhagwat said, inaugurating a Rs 18 crore convention centre of the RSS in Kochi, the first of its kind in Kerala.

"Conversions are not necessary. If you have the basic human values, what you wear, what you eat and what you pray all these are immaterial," he said, adding, Hindu society needs to spread this message world over.

All round progress of Hindu society is not for its own sake, but for the betterment of the whole world, he noted.

Former ISRO chairman, G Madhavan Nair said changes in the education sector was needed as it had become highly commercialised.

Those coming out of colleges are not employable, which needs to be changed, he said, adding, there is need for imparting value-based education.

Nair also stressed the need for promoting entrepreneurship rather than going for jobs in government or multi-national companies.
