Chief Minister Kamal Nath has said that service to humanity is the biggest religion. Through this we help the needy people and follow our religion and its message.

He said “our country and our culture is great because it has the characteristic of being united with a sense of honour and respect for each other. This culture of our unity in diversity is intact till date because the people of the old generation not only fulfilled it but were also dedicated to protecting it.” He added that that “Biggest challenge before us today is that we should bring the origin, civilisation and diversity of our great culture closer to the younger generation and they should imbibe it, so that our country can always remain safe and united.”
