improvement will come quickly. These activities should be encouraged in many ways, including numerous significant and honorable award-giving activities.
Thinking of our country from history, geography, language, culture and other viewpoints, it is more like a small continent than a single country. People with many religious beliefs live here. To maintain unity in such diversity, we will have to try hard in the fields of education and travelling, so that people from various districts and regions can mix intimately with each other, can go to each other's festivals and social events, and become familiar with each other's customs. Of course it will take long time to procure such unity in thoughts and feelings. In this matter railway journey, military recruitments and transfers, inter-regional-activities and appointments of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers are all useful. The planning of inter-regional travels, cultural exchange of young students and school-college youth groups both at public and private level should also be freely and fully encouraged. In this respect, Hindu and Jain monks, who travel on foot, can contribute significantly. In addition, large scale planning of fairs and pilgrimages, (e.g. pilgrimage travels to Bombay-Kashi, Madras-Sametshikhar, Kanyakumari-Vaishnodevi etc.) is also praiseworthy. By travelling to important ancient historical places, students acquire fun-filled information and gain knowledge of mountain climbing, big rivers and forests,
