Mangalore, May 27: "Serving people of a particular religion and caste does not help in the inclusive growth of a society. Social work becomes meaningful only when we work for the betterment of all without taking into consideration to which religion or caste one belongs to," said Dr Aloysius Paul D'Souza, bishop of Mangalore.

Addressing the youth at 'Parzol 2014', a cultural competition hosted by Indian Catholic Youth Movement (ICYM) at Moodbidri on Sunday May 25, the Bishop highlighted on one's duty to serve all. "Along with the bringing the youth together, the ICYM has to reach out to the people of all religions with the message of Christ, who served without expecting," he said.

Former minister Amarnath Shetty was the chief guest. "Communal harmony must prevail in society. The priests and service oriented associations like ICYM have to also work for uniting people of different religions."

ICYM website was launched and annual magazine 'Gulob' was released on the occasion. The programme was also a witness to felicitations to people who worked for society and in recognition of their achievements. Moodbidri town municipal vice-president Eliza Menezes, Belvai gram panchayat member Anish D'Souza, Moodbidri MCC Bank director Andrew D'Souza, and MCS Bank director Goerge Monis were honoured by the dignitaries.

Five students received Rs 5,000 each as scholarships. Santhosh of Belvai, a differentl-abled student was given a wheelchair.

Fr Austin Peter Peris, parish priest of Moodbidri Church, Fr Ronald D'Souza, ICYM director Fr Assisi Rebello and entrepreneur Walter Stephen Mendis were present on the dais.

ICYM president Selvin Jude Colaco welcomed, while secretery Rayan D'Souza proposed the vote of thanks. Rajesh Vamadapadavu compered the programme.

    To consider something as good it should be 100% good. If 1% is bad and 99% is good, even then it is considered as bad. We, the least of the least, need to be good to make the life good, happy, healthy and fearless. Can we, each one, then imagine the gravity of our responsibility to make this life good, better and best???

    As God is one and the sun shines on all, we are obligated to be the salt of the earth and light of the world.
    The urgency is to find solutions to our harsh problems which severely increase the heat.
    We cannot ignore the facts and pull on carrying the unnecessary and unwanted burden.
    The pride of vehicle engine and fuel energy had prompted the auto industrialists to keep the bullock cart on wheels, (instead of merely replacing the bull with vehicle engine to pull the cart), a couple of centuries ago. And the same silly error we have been following even today deliberately with pride, by ignoring the demerits.
    If we believe that the huge burden on wheels (the weight of millions of people and tons of goods) can be used as a powerful pushing force, we can see a revolutionary change in the surface transport sector. The opportunity is to save a considerable volume of fuel, eliminate health hazardous pollutions and drastic reduction of costs.
    The need is to recognize that increasing transport demand of rapidly growing volume of commuters and goods cannot be met by increasing and multiplying the tiny vehicles on roads. It simply put oil on fire and worsens the burning situation.
    Perhaps, think different, implement change, solve the problems and achieve the success is the approach. We can perform the wonder with togetherness, love and peace. The huge burden can be converted as an excellent boon.
