“ I will pursue my education or the work with dedication and I will excel in it; From now onwards,

I will teach atleast ten persons to read and write those who cannot read and write;

I will plant at least ten saplings and shall ensure their growth through constant care;

I will visit rural and urban areas and permanently wean away at least five persons from addiction and gambling;

I will constantly endeavour to remove the pain of my suffering brethren;

I will not support any religions; caste or language differentiation;

I will be honest and endeavour to make a corruption - free society

I will work for becoming an enlightened citizen and make my family righteous;

I will always be a friend of the mentally and physically challenged and will work to make them feel normal, like the rest of us, and

I will proudly celebrate the success of my country and my people”
