The subject matters are mainly related to Indian aesthetics and its concept; literature and its underlying philosophy; utility of a clean and green environment in India; significance and relevance of Sanskrit; war and peace; Covid-19 and its impact and lessons; message and philosophy of the great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi; Socio-cultural and Socio-religious components of Indian heritage and the commitment of self to transform the present society in a positive direction.
