"I found the youth festival enthusiastic, energetic and educative. It is a great privilege for students and youths to develop their overall personality. During my stay at Gyan Sarovar, I found myself in paradise. Patience, politeness, discipline, cleanliness and all human values are adhered to in each and every corner. I wish to come here again and again".
