President Draupadi Murmu on Tuesday stressed the need to encourage research in the education system and said India’s research scholars are capable of finding solutions to problems facing not only the country but the world.
Addressing the 21st convocation of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) in Pune, he said the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 promotes research.
Murmu urged students to achieve excellence and not link success to material possessions like money, a big house or a car.
“I have full faith that the young generation is working hard for the development of the country. The people of the country have a lot of talent and skills.
“I want you to understand the needs of the society and use your knowledge to find solutions that can help in the development of the general public, especially those who are marginalised, and promote stability,” the President said.
He said that the young generation can achieve their goals through government schemes like Start-up India, Skill India and Stand-up India.
The President said, “I would like to tell everyone here that research should be promoted in the education system. India’s research scholars are capable of finding solutions to problems not only within the country but also the world. Research has been promoted in the National Education Policy.”
The President urged the professors, faculty members and alumni of Symbiosis University to promote research in the education system.
The President said years of research lead to new inventions and new solutions to challenges. He said Symbiosis University has multi-disciplinary research centres working in several areas including water resource management, stem cells, nano-science and climate change.
The President advised the students to strive to achieve excellence in every task.
He said, “You must have heard the saying ‘Chase excellence and success will follow you’. But sometimes it happens that some people consider having more money, a bigger house, a bigger car and other things as a sign of success.”
Murmu expressed confidence that the students will understand the true meaning of success and do work that will improve the standards of living of others too.
He said that students can bring positive change in the country and abroad with their personality and knowledge.
He said, “Students can make effective contributions in management, healthcare, law, social sciences and other fields through innovation, artificial intelligence and machine learning.”
The President urged the students to understand the culture and needs of different communities and regions of India.
The President said that based on this knowledge of regions and communities, students should create software, healthcare products and marketing strategies that help in the development of all, especially the underprivileged sections, and also promote sustainability.
Initiatives like Start-up India, Skill India, Make in India and Digital India will also help students achieve their goals.
The President said that the progress of women power is not only a matter of pride for the citizens but is also an important criterion for the development of the country.
He urged all educational institutions to encourage girl students to pursue higher education and create a safe and supportive environment for them.
The President appreciated the establishment of ‘Symbiosis Arogya Dham’ – a step towards improving medical services.
Murmu said that all educational institutions should aim to provide value-based education along with knowledge of latest technology to the young generation.
