A one day Jeevan Vidya workshop in telugu was held on 5 November at IIIT Hyderabad.  Dr. Shatrunjay Rawat, coordinator of Universal  Human Values Cell at IIITH was the  chief guest. Speaking on the occasion Dr. Rawat said social development is possible only with human values. The workshop was organised by  Center for Holistic Development of Human Consciousness (CHDHC) and Amma Social Welfare Association (ASWA).  CHDHC is a collective, working for the inner transformation of all humans by inculcating universal human values in education (Jeevan Vidya). The workshop tried to put forward some important knowledge required for a happier life, fulfilling relationships, successful parenting and unlocking one’s true potential towards excellence.

In this camp, people of all ages and professions from the two Telugu speaking states – Andhra Pradesh and Telangana participated. The speakers explained in an easy-to-understand manner the important skills needed to live happily with positive relationships in a person’s family and society. They focused on – what we have to strive for in our personal life, why we need to understand the relationships with our relatives without prejudice, how to get out of these problems through introspection, how to live spiritually happily, how to participate in society and how to live in harmony with nature. 

Everyone who participated expressed satisfaction that many key issues were clarified. Organizer Amma Srinivas said that  camps like these have been organized since 2018. So far they have distributed this knowledge to around 25 thousand people not only in the two states but also to Telugu people all over the world.
