He said, there is a vast difference between happiness and pleasure despite having all the pleasures one may not be happy while one may be happy without a minute pleasure in life. To be happy, a person should enjoy their job fulfilling their duties and be satisfied of having the job through which they will be able to contribute for the betterment of the society, he added.
He said, development as per the motto of Modi’s ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ means a collective effort towards inclusive growth to work for the improvement of the most deprived and downtrodden section of the society. Social Work is a very noble profession for it is dedication to work, helps and assists in uplifting the most needy.
