On Friday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed that for the country’s evolution into a ‘developed India’ by 2047, it’s imperative to link institutions with the industry. He underscored the necessity of setting objectives for the upcoming 25 years.
Addressing the 5th convocation ceremony of Bennett University in Greater Noida, the Chief Minister said, “When the country’s population of 142 crore moves forward with one voice and resolve, there is no reason why our country cannot become a developed India.”
As part of the event, the Chief Minister planted saplings within the university campus. The vice chancellor of the University presented him with an Angavastram. On this occasion, a BTech student presented a portrait of Shri Ram Darbar to the Chief Minister.
In his address, the Chief Minister extended best wishes to the graduating students and remarked that the university convocations are a transformed version of ancient India’s university and Gurukul convocations.
He said that the universities of ancient India were renowned centres for research and development for graduates worldwide. He mentioned a verse from the Taittiriya Upanishad, “Satyam vada dharmam chara svadhyayananma pramadah,” and emphasized the importance of speaking the truth, practising righteousness, avoiding laziness in self-study, and staying on the path of truth and righteousness.
