He also said that Vidya Bharati is committed to imparting education right from the primary stage to higher education, giving unprecedented impetus to bring about spiritual and moral transformation in the students through the use of the mother tongue. He also said that Vidya Bharati imparts value-based education through a set of curricula with the help of its network of around seven hundred schools scattered across the length and breadth of the region.

The Chief Minister also said that the Samutkarsh Mahasivir has imparted instructions and knowledge to the participating students to gain self-realization and responsibility towards society and the environment. He said that the performance of the 5000 students who performed Ghosh and 1,000 students who showcased Bihu reflected holistic development and national pride.
