Imagine you have a special kind of treasure that no one can ever steal from you.
That treasure is knowledge!

He reminded them that education helps us become smart thinkers, kind people, and good citizens who can help our country grow.
He also said it's important to not get too lost in phones and social media and to have control over our actions.
He even started a program called 'No to Drugs' to help people stay away from bad habits.
The Governor of Kerala also spoke, saying that schools should help students become people who create jobs, not just look for them, so everyone can help make India and Kerala even better.
Vice President C P Radhakrishnan stated that education is the most valuable and irremovable wealth a person can possess.
