Today is the birthday of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, who propounded the philosophy of Ekatma Manav Darshan, which translates into integral humanism or the development journey undertaken together and the expansion from the self to the universe, whereby the self moves from the individual to society, the nation and all humankind. This philosophy is dedicated to the concept of Antyodaya — the modern- day equivalent of leaving no one behind. It is with that principle in mind that India today is moving forward on the path of integrated equitable development. Our priority is that development should be all-inclusive, all- pervasive, universal and one that nurtures all.
