Amravati: Union minister Nitin Gadkari urged the students on Saturday to be the catalyst for the social and economic change in the 21st century.
“As the 21st Century belongs to India, all-out efforts should be made to bring about the social and economic change in the lives of the people,” Gadkari was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The minister said this while delivering an online address on the occasion of the 37th convocation ceremony of the Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University.
“The university should take up projects that would address the problems of the community around it. The varsity, its teachers and students should work together for value addition and contribution to the GDP of the region,” the Parliamentarian from Nagpur said.
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari mentioned the necessity of resolve in success during his address.
“Success comes through a resolve. Work hard to achieve that goal,” he said.
Shankar Baba Papalkar was conferred with the honorary D.Litt. by the varsity, on the occasion, recognising his work in the fields of environment conservation and rehabilitation.
