of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.”

It
was a wonderful gathering where Mentor on Road discussed about the positive changes
taking place in New India 3.0.
Mentor on Road also presented about the smart village program and talked about the ways the audience can contribute to the village they belong to, which includes, spending some time in the village to learn about the difficulties and the pain points of the villagers and suggesting technological solutions to those problems. The crowd was glad to note that they do not need to invest anything from their side except for their time and support.
Receiving a respectable appreciation from the crowd made us realize that no matter how far you stay, if you are a true nationalist at heart, you would always be there to take care of your homeland.
Overall, the event was successful as four people from the crowd came forward to adopt their village. Mentor on Road is happy as well as excited to announce that till now 42 villages have been adopted from 25 different cities of USA. Hope the number keeps increasing so that we all together are able to bring a small yet impactful change in the society.
Anticipating a productive day tomorrow.
Jai ho! (Let victory be yours)
