HYDERABAD: The Central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has played a major role in revamping the education sector of the country, putting India on track to be the ‘Viswa Guru’, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal has said.

“The role played by a doctor is crucial to build scientific temperament in the society. The prowess of doctors and scientists proved essential to thwart the threat that COVID-19 posed. It is a matter of pride that the rich legacy of the Assam Medical College is in safe hands of all of you to further this temperament,” Sonowal said while addressing the students at the 78th Foundation Day celebrations of Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh.

The rapid growth of medical tourism is a testament to the top-notch talent of Indian doctors in clinical excellence, he pointed out, adding that the age-old traditional medicinal systems have proven effects on healing the health and mind.

‘Yoga India’s biggest soft power export’

“India’s biggest soft power export to the world is yoga as it is healing the health and mind of all humanity. Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are integrating the best of traditional medicine with that of modern medicine to provide a holistic treatment and complete wellbeing. The legacy of Assam Medical College must be honed to support our talent pool to become world class doctors and researchers,” he said.

Sonowal also took part in the 62nd Foundation Day celebrations of Dibru College.

Honing human resources

“The 21st century is of competition and we must participate to reach success with dignity. Dibru College prepares the students for that challenge. It is honing the human resources of the entire Northeast. My appeal to students today is to focus on building yourselves. There is no shortcut to success—you must work hard on your character and discipline,” he told the students.

The Dibru College was founded with the support from public and eventually it became as a pioneering college of the region, receiving top honours from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Sonowal offered floral tributes to the founding Principal of the college, Bharat Narayan Jamowar and Vice-Principal Nanda Lal Borgohain.
