Youth must seek to innovate to solve challenges facing the country and the world: PM Modi

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today delivered the Convocation Address at the Centenary Year Convocation of the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi.

Paying homage to Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of the University, Shri Narendra Modi described him as a visionary, who sought to prepare a dedicated, capable set of people with knowledge or values for nation building.

The Prime Minister said that a Convocation should not be treated as the end of education. He added that the student within a person should always be kept alive.

The Prime Minister urged students to face even adversity with equanimity. He said the youth must seek to innovate to solve challenges facing the country and the world. In this context, he gave examples of sickle cell anaemia, global warming, and solar energy.

The Prime Minister referred to school-children from nearby Government run schools, who were present at the function, as his special guests. He urged the medal winners to interact with them, so that they too feel inspired to achieve.

“பேரரசர் இரண்டாம் பெரும்பிடுகு முத்தரையரை (சுவரன் மாறன்) கௌரவிக்கும் வகையில் சிறப்பு அஞ்சல் தலையைக் குடியரசு துணைத்தலைவர் திரு சி.பி. ராதாகிருஷ்ணன் அவர்கள் வெளியிட்டது மகிழ்ச்சி அளிக்கிறது. ஆற்றல்மிக்க நிர்வாகியான அவருக்குப் போற்றத்தக்க தொலைநோக்குப் பார்வையும், முன்னுணரும் திறனும், போர்த்தந்திர ஞானமும் இருந்தன. நீதியை நிலைநாட்டுவதில் அவர் உறுதியுடன் செயல்பட்டவர். அதேபோல் தமிழ் கலாச்சாரத்திற்கும் அவர் ஒரு மகத்தான பாதுகாவலராக இருந்தார். அவரது அசாதாரண வாழ்க்கையைப் பற்றி அதிகமான இளைஞர்கள் படிக்க வேண்டும் என்று நான் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன்.
