Toady, Mr Anil Bokil, Founder – Arthakranti, enlightened all of us at the tenth session of Golden Jubilee Lecture Series, at Anand Hall, MIT CSN. He was welcomed by our Hon’ble President, Gramaudyogik Shikshan Mandal (GSM) Dr Y. A. Kawade. Mr Bokil spoke on ‘Meta-economics – New Paradigm for Global Development’. He explained the concept of microeconomics, macroeconomics and meta-economics that implies humanity.

Mr Bokil explained that most wars happening today around the world are because of identity crisis, this maybe of religion, region, caste, gender, etc. And proved very methodically that only welfare and human values can bring peace in our society. He emphasised the importance of imparting human values and sanskaar along with technical education for the betterment of future generations. Dr Arti Mohanpurkar later apprised the audience in her vote of thanks that MIT CSN does impart education based on Human Values and we are a potential nodal center for AICTE approved course on Universal Human Values. She also mentioned that our Director General, Prof. Munish Sharma is on a long road trip titled ‘Bridging Borders, Uniting Hearts’, to spread the message of oneness around the world.

Mr Bokil said, “It is in our Indians’ RNA & DNA to live as joint families, and we should continue doing that for overall peace and harmony.” He narrated the importance of philosophy by saying, “Technology gives power, but philosophy gives direction.” He said that for a world to move from Yuddha (war) to Buddha (peace), we will have to think of welfare over warfare.

On speaking about senior citizens, Mr Bokil explained how looking after the welfare of this particular group of citizens, peace can be achieved in our homes, societies and countries. He proposed a separate ministry to handle the affairs of this huge section of society who has equally contributed to nation building by paying taxes and also by casting votes. He appealed all to use technology to move from destruction to construction and then to care.
