Ideological Objectives of Safali: Shedding light on the organization's goals and its journey so far, speakers stated that 'Safali' is not merely an organization, but a powerful medium to become the voice of the deprived and needy strata of society.

Views of Dr. K.C. Mishra: In his address, Chief Guest Dr. K.C. Mishra stated that the measure of any society's progress cannot be solely economic development; rather, how alive human sensitivities and morality are within that society is far more important. He urged the youth not to forget their culture and social duties in the blind race of modernization.
