Jaipur: President Droupadi Murmu Emphasizes Education and Character at Mohanlal Sukhadia University Convocation.
President highlighted the importance of education as a key to empowerment during her address at the 32nd convocation of Mohanlal Sukhadia University in Udaipur. She urged students to balance their personal ambitions with social responsibility, stating that true welfare is achieved by helping others.
During her speech, she acknowledged the university's contributions to society, mentioning that it has produced many successful graduates, including Punjab Governor Gulabchand Kataria. She called on the students to contribute towards the vision of a "Developed India by 2047," expressing confidence that their efforts will help reach this goal.
President Murmu reflected on the historical significance of the Mewar region in the struggle for national identity, recalling figures like Rana Sanga, Maharana Pratap, and the poetess Mirabai, who represent a blend of strength and devotion.
