Speaking at Amritapuri during Vishwa Seva Dinam, organised on the occasion of the 73rd birthday celebrations of Mata Amritanandamayi, Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan on Sunday (September 27, 2026) said that India’s march toward a Viksit Bharat must blend modernity with civilisational values.

Addressing global challenges like conflicts, humanitarian crises, and loneliness, he noted that technological progress must be paired with compassionate advancement.

Praising Mata Amritanandamayi, Mr. Radhakrishnan noted that her life embodies love and selfless service, reflecting India’s timeless ethos that views service as a way of life and an expression of oneness.
