"The participation in the NVEC contest brought about a remarkable change in my life. When I was approached for student enrollment in my school I myself on the spot registered for it with a divine instinct. I read the Bhagavad Gita and the Value education booklet received with it and understood well the truth of life. The practical situations we face in our daily life and the right path to resolve the same explained in the Bhagavad Gita has helped me a lot in my professional and personal life. I am able to keep cool without being stressed and resolve my day to day problems because of the realization of the supreme truth that God is one, is present in all living beings, and chanting his name and meditation is the only way to the path of salvation. Anger, greed etc will only harm us. I take this opportunity to thank ISKCON for organizing such a valuable contest to imbibe the essence of Gita in the young and old alike. Hare Krishna."

"My experience of NVEC-2021 was very enthuastic as well as very interesting to read “Bhagwad Gita as it is” and introducing the value education in colleges and schools will definitely help students to inculcate moral and ethical values in their life which is the key to live a happy life. It is also clear from the given course material which includes many case studies of day to day life that Bhagavad Gita is the real life manual and relevant today also, as it has always been and as it always will be."

"National Value Education Contest was a life changing experience for me. I had read Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta a couple of times earlier but with NVEC 2021, I read it again but this time the Book I received from ISKCON Completely transformed my mind. I read it everyday and with every word I read, I move a step ahead towards Krishna Consciousness. I, now wish to join ISKCON and offer my service and my soul to Krishna. At time of registering for NVEC 2021 I was eager to win but with studying Geeta everyday... I just wish to develop myself. As Krishna says Working in right direction is must. Results should never be expected. I bow down to Krishna, Shrila Prabhupada and whole ISKCON society for giving me opportunity to participate. I will visit nearest ISKCON and connect with this society as oon as possible and will offer my services to lord. Along with my UPSC preparation, I will Dedicate myself to Godhead Krishna. I now desperately want to show to this world that a Krishna Consciousness Devotee IAS can do wonders in spiritual as well as socio government department too. Hare Krishna"

"The experience of participating in the contest has been wonderful. I personally like the learning experience - The simple ability of sharing values that the Bhagavad Gita shlokas convey, through stories that one can relate to. Its never been a competition for me but a great learning experience. The learnings and values have stayed with me and helped me to keep my mind calm. The coordinators also made the coordination effective. I have received very prompt response always from the time I registered for the contest until I gave the exam. Thank you for all the help."

"I am glad that I had participated in the National Value Education Contest. The booklet along with Bhagavad Gita has helped me a lot. It's like one solution for many questions. Bhagavad Gita has changed life of many people around the world. I read Bhagavad Gita everyday which gives me a satisfaction, knowledge, inner peace, etc. I didn't read the Bhagavad Gita just to find answers of some MCQ questions. It is a book which talks with people, gives knowledge, clears self doubts, clears the mind from unnecessary thoughts, gives inner strength and guidelines for a balanced life, tells the importance of devotion, etc. It's a book which brings a best miracle in your life."

"Participating in national value education contest 2021 was really a good experience. During this contest i was going through really tough time of my life. I wasn't able to take some important decision for me and my family, i wasn't understanding how to take those decisions and how to understand life's perspective, what exactly life wants me to do, what it is trying to show me. Bhagvat geeta helped me with this. I understand life not completely but atleast 10% i understand and I am still trying to understand, but that's how life is, we can't fully understand it. Because of this contest i read the Bhagavad Geeta and got answers to almost all my questions. It helped me a lot and now I am able to take some important decision by my own in life. Thank you so much.."
