Final year engineering student says he would like to work in the field of education
Being one of the volunteers meant that I was able to attend the sessions and listen to the speakers attentively. The three-day experience was not only informative but enriching because it's a rare thing that so many well-known people from their respective fields interact with the students and speak, enlighten and motivate them.
Apart from that, I was also happy to meet students from across the country. There were participants from Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana and many other states. Interacting with them was altogether a different experience. One thing in common among all the students was each one had a fire inside them to achieve something great and make a mark for themselves in their respective fields. It was a very motivating feeling and I got to learn a lot from them too.
Coming to the Parliament, it was also the first time that we students got to know so much about politics and we even developed an interest in it. The 11 sessions had different topics and after each was discussed, we took an oath or resolution to follow that particular resolution. But personally I feel it's not possible for a person to follow each and every resolution. If a person decides to follow one resolution strictly throughout his life, he will achieve a lot. I have therefore decided to follow a single resolution seriously. I want to work more in the field of education and spread the message of quality education, so that more children are educated. I thoroughly enjoyed the session by Dr Kiran Bedi who spoke about women empowerment and she pointed out that even though women are being educated, they haven't made a significant mark.
Even Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's session on India vs Bharat was very informative. I realised that for the growth of the country the rural India has to develop. More than the GDP(gross domestic product), the GDH (gross domestic happiness) is equally important.
RTI activist Aruna Roy pointed out that in the same manner that our parents keep a track of our expenditures because they pay our bills, it is important for us to question the government on their spending because it's public money.u00a0
