Swami Vivekananda serves as a profound source of inspiration for Prof. Swati Karad Chate, who is dedicated to the field of education. She finds in Vivekananda’s teachings a timeless guidepost for her own endeavors. Just as Vivekananda emphasized the importance of education that goes beyond knowledge, Prof. Swati Karad Chate too, is driven by the belief that education should cultivate values, inner strength, and inculcate a sense of purpose. Like Vivekananda, she advocates the idea that education is not just about imparting skills but also about instilling ethics, compassion, empathy and social responsibility. Vivekananda’s call for education as a catalyst for personal and societal transformation resonates deeply with her vision. She is inspired to follow in his footsteps, ensuring that education remains a powerful force for positive change, shaping not only individuals but also the betterment of society as a whole.
