Amma is the Chair of C20, which seeks to bring the concerns of Civil Society Organisations to the leaders of the world’s leading economies. As this year’s host country, the G20 Summit will take place in New Delhi this September.
Here are some notes from her address at the Inaugural Ceremony of the Civil 20 for India’s G20 Presidency:
We have forgotten the force of Nature, which is even more powerful. We have forgotten the great truth that we are a part of this vast universe. Lately, Nature has been giving us a succession of “shock treatments” to remind us of this truth.
- From kindergarten to grade 12, as well as in higher education, a course that teaches compassion and selflessness should be created.
- Every child should plant a tree on their birthday and be taught how to care for it with love and compassion.
- Projects should be developed where villages are adopted with the support of multinational corporations and businesses. Then schools, colleges, hospitals and small-scale industries should be established in them.
- Leaders of all religions should teach their followers to be inclusive and to never discriminate against anyone based on religion.
- It should become mandatory for all educational institutions to train their students, from lowest to the highest, to use technology with discernment and give them opportunities to put it into practice.
