Seminar on Vivekananda’s teachings
Ludhiana, December 28 Vivekananda was curious from his childhood which gave him a scientific bent of mind to explore things. Mr Viney emphasised on scientific philosophy of Vivekananda, whose childhood name was Narendra Dutt, inherited this logical temper from his teacher Ramkrishna Paramhans who himself was a spiritual scholar. He selflessly devoted his life to the cause of humanity and spirituality. He discovered the actual meaning of religion as the path to invent one's inner strengths and belief in one's own self. He explained science with the tips of spirituality and spirituality with the basis of science. Swami Vivekananda was the third strongest person with the virtue of inner strength after Lord Krishna and Guru Gobind Singh. He was a person who adopted his conqueror's attitude in a positive manner with the logo, "Everything is Possible". In Chicago's conference, Swami Vivekananda proved to the world that India's richest and the
cultural heritage was the best. Dr Sanjiv Dawar called upon the faculty of LCET to adopt the ideology of Swami Vivekananda and become a role model for their students to inculcate the values of nationality, humanity and brotherhood for building a strong
nation. The vote of thanks was presented by Mr
S.S.Grewal, Head, Business Management Department and the award of honour was presented to Mr Viney by the Principal.

Waris Rashid — a promising footballer
Rehman Nagar (Mandi Ahmedgarh), December 28 “Though I have all regards for the patron of the tournament who declared to sponsor me during his presidential lecture, I feel that my carrier in football is safer in the hands of my parents and grandparents, who owe a place in the world of sports. I am sure that I would be able to add feathers to the cap of the Indian team after imbibing expertise from my parents and receiving up-to-date knowledge from institutionalised system,” said Waris Rashid, a budding player of this hamlet, situated on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla Road. Presently studying in Class VIII of St Stephen’s School, Chandigarh, Waris claimed to have learnt the finer points of the game from his grandparents, Mohamad Iqbal and Abdul Rashid, who have been giving him tips on the subject. Earlier, as a student of Sohrab Public School, Malerkotla, Waris had represented Punjab in the National Games. He received many awards during the first two years of his carrier in football. Besides being declared “prolific scorer of the tournament” (for scoring 10 goals in one match) and the “most talented player of Chandigarh” (in a Chandigarh Administration tournament), he was declared the “youngest promising player of the tournament and the best player” in the 52nd National School U-14 Football Tournament, organised recently at Port Blair under the aegis of the School Games Federation of India. The patron and chief guest of the event in their speeches had offered to sponsor Waris and his family in case they opt to shift to their state. “But
Waris, without consulting us declined the offered politely and decided that he would continue his practice at his school. However he will be coming for weekly practice here,” said Waris’s father Talhar Rashid, adding that the school had waived off his expenses.
