Jammu, March 16 Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday emphasized the need to build a society that is technologically advanced yet humane, and said that it is time for India to regain its position as a guiding force in a world facing numerous challenges.

Speaking after unveiling a bust of Maharaja Ranbir Singh at the Central Sanskrit University here, Sinha said, "India, driven by the welfare of its people, remains committed to world peace and shared prosperity. It is time for India to regain its position and guide a world facing numerous challenges."

He said that ancient India's journey – holding science in one hand and culture in the other – was never one-sided.
"We absorbed the intellect of Brahmagupta and the wisdom of the Buddha. This campus must nurture such individuals," he said.

Calling upon the youth to build a technologically strong yet compassionate society, Sinha said, "We must build a society that is technologically advanced yet humane.
