Emphasizing on quality education, President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday addressed the 83rd Convocation of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar University in Agra.
Addressing the students, the President said the University had an illustrious history going back nearly nine decades and had produced Presidents, Prime Ministers and stalwarts in many walks of life
“Many people had contributed to their education – their parents, teachers, family members, and others in government and society. These people had contributed to giving the graduating students an opportunity that millions in our country are unable to get. Therefore, it was the duty of the graduating students to pay back society in some way, and work for the cause of humanity,” said President Kovind.
He reiterated that the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar University has adopted a primary school, taken responsibility for education of underprivileged children in a model school, run cornea transplant programmes and organised blood donation camps. He appreciated such efforts and said they were commendable. Such efforts made students sensitive and responsible towards society.
