He further said, “We have drafted a plan which includes a series of campaigns where the youth will be taught about rich culture, heritage, festivals and biographies of great men.There is also a need to connect people of all Hindu society.”
Singh said, “There is also need to connect people of all Hindu society, and particularly youngsters, should know about the lives of great personalities like Swami Vivekanand, Maharshi Valmiki, Sant Ravidas, Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, Swami Dayashankar Saraswati, Savitribai Phule, etc.”
The VHP has launched sanskar shalas at slum pockets of three districts of the UP after witnessing religious conversions.
Under these sanskar shalas, slum kids are taught about Sanatan culture and rich heritage, festivals, yoga, etc.
