India Express News Network Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Upendrra Rai attended the 13th annual function of Patanjali Acharyakulam in Haridwar on Wednesday.
The event was themed ‘Character Building and Prosperity: The Foundation of Education’. Baba Ramdev was present, warmly welcoming Rai to the stage and recalling their 25-year association.
On stage, Upendrra Rai addressed the audience, underlining the importance of education, character-building, and prosperity. He highlighted India Express’s journey from its inception to becoming a major news network, attributing its growth to Baba Ramdev’s guidance.
CMD Upendrra Rai illustrated his speech with a story from the essay Aacharan Ki Sabhyaata by the renowned Hindi writer Sardar Purn Singh, which he studied in class 12.
The story depicted a poor boatman saving a woman from a flood, while her wealthy relatives did not risk their lives. Rai explained, “True character emerges naturally through actions and integrity; it is not taught in schools or bought in markets.”

Baba Ramdev lauded Upendrra Rai for his dedication and hard work, noting that he built a major media network from scratch.
The two shared warm interactions on stage, and Ramdev appreciated Rai’s anecdotes shared during the event. Several photographs captured the cordial moments between them.

Both Baba Ramdev and Rai encouraged the youth to pursue knowledge, ethics, and moral values. The event symbolised not only educational development but also the preservation of Indian culture and heritage.
