Addressing students through video-conferencing and web-casting, the President said students are the bright future of the nation.
The extent of India's progress will be decided by their energy, drive, initiative and industry, Mukherjee said. ‘Understand our nation and its institutions. Read, learn and formulate views on national issues. Choose to engage with our beautiful, complex, often difficult and sometimes noisy democracy,’ the President was quoted as saying in a press release issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Mukherjee delivered his new year message to students and faculty members of Central universities, IITs, NITs and other central institutions using National Knowledge Network from the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Understand your rights and duties well, especially towards those who are less fortunate. The voiceless deserve your voice; the weak deserve your strength; and the needy deserve your help. Make the best use of your knowledge in the service of the nation and its citizens, he said.
