He stressed the need for an indigenous education system rooted in 'satya' (truth) and 'karuna' (compassion), which he said could awaken Bharat's collective strength and steer the nation towards 'vishwa mangalam' (universal welfare).

Bhagwat was delivering the valedictory address at the Gyan Sabha, the four-day national education conclave organised by Shiksha Samskriti Utthan Nyas, which concluded in Kochi on Monday. The final session was held at Amritayanam Hall of Amrita Hospital, Edapally.
