The country is walking on the path of economic progress and development and in the last 75 years of independence, we have become self-reliant, as a nation by advancing rapidly in the field of industrial development. Today’s youth must be well aware of his duties along with his rights and should act as a responsible citizen of the country. The last two years of Covid crisis have provided us with a lot of opportunities and we have seen huge technological development as new technologies emerged during this period through which we could stay connected with each other, even during these tough times.”
Sharing his views on the occasion, Guest of Honor, Shri Guru Prakash, National Spokesperson BJP, stated, “Through this initiative, we have connected the students from different institutions, with each other, which will help in providing immense learning and exposure to the students. Another wonderful initiative by Amity University is “Samvidhan Radio Amity”, which is helping in spreading awareness about the constitution of India and providing useful information about law-related policies. We must remember the people who have contributed immensely in making the Constitution of India, including Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and other core members of his team. Overall Personality Development of Students besides imparting quality education should be the focus area of educational institutions so as to ensure that the students are not only excellent professionals but also good individuals, with an understanding and regard for human values, who take pride in their heritage and culture and Amity University is following the same.”
