MP Sribharat stresses value-based education in Visakhapatnam school session
A member of parliament named M Sribharat visited a school in Visakhapatnam, India.
He talked to the students there in a special session.
The visit was part of big celebrations for Sri Sathya Sai Baba's 100th birthday and India's Independence Day.
The MP said education should be about more than just books and exams.
He said it should also teach kindness, discipline and taking responsibility.
He told students to set clear goals and work towards them.
He also said they should use technology wisely but not forget their values.
He explained that success is not a finish line but a journey, and that courage helps people keep going even when things are hard.
After the talk, he looked at displays showing heroes from India's freedom movement.
The school programme lasted two days and was arranged with help from Sri Sathya Sai groups.

He advised students to set clear goals, use technology effectively and stay rooted in their values, saying success is a continuous journey.
