Hyderabad: Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla called for value-based education and social change through the practical adoption of Panch Parivartan principles on Wednesday.

Releasing the book Panch Parivartan at the Lok Bhavan community hall, the Governor urged citizens to translate its five principles into action. These principles include social harmony, family values, environmental protection, self-awareness and civic duties.
