Youth Must Cultivate Inner Calm to Build a Peaceful World: Dr Birbal Jha

Patna, September 21: The message of peace and inner harmony rang out at British Lingua, Boring Road, Patna, on Saturday as acclaimed author and educator Dr Birbal Jha addressed a gathering of young people on the occasion of the International Day of Peace. Serving as the chief speaker, Dr Jha urged the youth to embrace peace as a daily practice and a pathway to prosperity.

“Peace is not a commodity to be bought; it is a skill to be cultivated,” the Youngest Living Legend of Mithila, Dr Birbal Jha told the audience, stressing that small acts of kindness can spark greater harmony. “True peace begins with something as simple as bringing a smile to another’s face. While we cannot see our own smile without a mirror, the joy reflected in others is unmistakable.”

Calling inner calm the key to personal growth, the English Litterateur Dr Birbal said, “The pursuit of inner peace is, in fact, the pursuit of prosperity. A mind at peace radiates energy, fosters understanding, and transforms relationships.” Dr Jha urged young people to shed negativity—“Distance yourself from arrogance, envy, greed, and ego. A sincere pursuit of peace naturally leads to happiness.”
Dr Jha drew from diverse traditions to underline the universality of his message. “The Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, and the Quran converge on a simple truth: treat others as you wish to be treated,” Dr Jha said. Quoting the Dalai Lama, he reminded the gathering, “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.”
Forgiveness, Dr Birbal stressed, is a mark of strength. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong,” Dr Jha said, citing Mahatma Gandhi. “Conflict, when handled wisely, can be transformative and productive. Settle disputes at the peace table before they escalate.”
Rejecting the notion that peace means passivity, Dr Birbal Jha, known as ‘Living Literary Legend of Bihar’, urged the audience to act with moral courage. “Speak now or forever hold your peace,” Dr Jha said. “Confront challenges mindfully and resolve issues with empathy.”
As India moves toward a future of global leadership, Dr Jha called on the youth to become ambassadors of harmony. “Each smile, each act of kindness, and each moment of forgiveness plants the seeds for a more harmonious world,” Dr Jha concluded.
The programme, attended by students and young professionals, ended with a pledge to practice daily acts of peace, echoing Dr Jha’s belief that “life without serenity is life half-lived.”

Empowering Dreams: How Scholarships Are Shaping the Future of Meritorious Students

By – Neeraj Kansal Founder & CEO of Crack Academy

In today’s highly competitive academic landscape, education has become one of the most significant investments for a brighter future. However, for many talented students, especially those from financially weaker backgrounds, the rising cost of quality education often acts as a barrier to achieving their aspirations. This is where scholarships play a transformative role, empowering meritorious students to pursue their dreams without being held back by financial constraints.

Scholarships serve as gateways to equal opportunities, enabling deserving students to access the best educational resources, mentorship, and guidance. They not only provide financial relief but also act as a motivational driver, encouraging students to excel academically and perform to their full potential.

school

In recent years, many educational institutions have introduced structured scholarship programs designed to support both merit and need. For instance, some institutes offer 100% scholarships to top-performing students, 75% to the next set of achievers, and 50% to a broader group of aspirants. These initiatives are particularly impactful for students preparing for competitive examinations like NEET, JEE, UPSC, SSC, Banking, and Railways, where early preparation and guided learning can make a significant difference.

Beyond financial assistance, scholarships instill a sense of confidence, responsibility, and ambition among students. They encourage young minds to dream big and work harder, fostering an ecosystem where talent is recognized and nurtured, irrespective of economic status.

As India steadily moves towards becoming a knowledge-driven economy, promoting scholarships for meritorious and financially weak students is crucial. By removing financial hurdles and unlocking opportunities, these initiatives help shape future doctors, engineers, administrators, and innovators who will contribute meaningfully to society.

In essence, scholarships are not just financial aid; they are catalysts of change, empowering young aspirants to turn their dreams into reality.
