Schooling Gets Over, Learning Lasts Ages, Says PM Modi While Inaugurating Patrika Gate in Jaipur

New Delhi: Insisting on the role of books and authors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that even though our schooling gets over but our learning process lasts for ages and continues every day.

Inaugurating the Patrika Gate in Jaipur via video conferencing, PM Modi said, “In any society, the enlightened section of the society, the writers or writers of the society are like guides, teachers of the society. Schooling is over, but our learning process lasts for ages, every day. Books and authors also play a major role in this.”

According to an official release, the iconic Gate is built by the Patrika Group of newspapers on the Jawaharlal Nehru Marg in Jaipur.

PM Modi released two books written by the Patrika Group of Newspaper Chairman. “In our country, writing has developed continuously with Indianness and nationality. During the freedom struggle, almost every big name was associated with writing from somewhere. We also have great saints and scientists who are writers,” Pm Modi was quoted as saying by The Times Of India.

He added further, “Shri Karpoor Chandra Kulish Ji started the tradition of the magazine only with the determination of Indianness, and service to India. We all remember his contribution to journalism, but the way Kulishji tried to spread the knowledge of Vedas to the society, it was truly amazing.”

“Characters are the first unit of our language, our expression. In Sanskrit, the meaning of the akshar is which doesn’t degrade and that always stays. This is the power of thought, strength. Thousands of years ago, the idea, which a sage, scientist gave us, is still advancing the world,” he added.

Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Governor Kalraj Mishra and Chairman of Patrika Group Gulab Kothari were also present on the occasion.
