But what paved my growth was the second place I won in that youth festival. I did not try to find out the faults of the judges. Instead I tried to iron out my own faults. Let competent judges evaluate the performance He also said that the festival needs judges who have a sense of justice and the participants who have faith in the judges. Education Minister P. K.
