There is now a wholesome ecosystem available for you, the youth of the country. You are now able to exploit your talent and potential and realise your dreams and aspirations. The system is helping you by affirmative policies and a series of initiatives, said Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar.
Hindu College marked its 125th Founder’s Day today. Vice President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, honoured the event as the Chief Guest.
While addressing the gathering he said, "the institution has been witness to the freedom struggle and has contributed to it. This institution has witnessed the securing of independence; this institution has played a role in nurturing Independence by its alumni but now is the time to blossom Independence. You are there. Therefore, this Institute is the right platform for me to be here and on this day. What an occasion for me, what an honour for me that I am here in absolute delight associated with 125th Foundation Day of Hindu College. It has a rich Legacy of serving the nation and blossoming nationalism."
"It is because of you that I can assert today with pride on our historical path, our civilizational ethos of more than 5000 year old. I can reflect on it. With satisfaction I can enjoy, relish Amrit Kaal, our rise incremental, phenomenal, unstoppable but more significantly which is important to Bharat: the world would have optimism, hope and full confidence in future of Viksit Bharat because of you; you will contribute to the growth of viksit Bharat," he added.
"Boys and girls, it is after a long gap…Why do I say so? I was elected to parliament in 1989 and had the occasion to be the Minister also. After a long gap what we have seen is we are in an era of hope and possibility. We have seen it, both, hope and possibility. You, boys and girls, are the most significant stakeholders in governance. Hindu College throughout the freedom movement stood as a steadfast bastion where echoes of nationalist ardour reverberated. Now the tempo is different. We have the echo of viksit Bharat from here," he further said.
Corruption and patronage are the worst killers of young minds, corruption and patronage are antithetical to merit and stability. Young people hate it because they feel cheated by corruption, they feel cheated by nepotism, and favouritism. Now boys and girls there is a big change, a sea change, a change for the better, said the Vice President.
There is now accountable and transparent governance in place. Let me focus on some of the game-changer initiatives that you are witnessing. Equality before the law is a constitutional ordainment that has eluded us for long. Some people think we are above the law, we are not accountable to the law, and we have immunity from the rigours of law. That no one can touch us. We have freedom to do what we like. We can trample on the rights of others and can secure offices by that mechanism, added the Vice Chancellor.
