VARANASI:The
student inside us should never die, Prime Minister said speaking at the 100th
convocation of Banaras Hindu University. "This is 'dikshant' not 'shikshant' (end of studies) ceremony," he said.
·
Student in PM's
program in BHU raised slogans, demanded revival of student union, slapped by
someone in audience
·
“I received a letter
from Banaras Hindu University conferring doctorate degree on me, I humbly
declined”, says PM Modi at BHU
·
Mere liye yahan(BHU) aana hi ek bohot saubhagya ki baat hai
·
Mujhe university se chhitthi aayi thi doctorate ki lekin maine
vinamrata poorvak naa kaha
·
Exploitation of nature
is a crime. Milking of the nature, yahi
hamein adhikaar hai'
·
'Jigyasa'(knowing) is
very important. If there is no 'Jigyasa'(knowing), then there is stagnation
·
The student in us must
remain alive always- PM Modi at BHU convocation ceremony in Varanasi
·
Ye dikshant samaroh hai, ham ye kabhi bhi man mein na layen ki ye
shikshant samaroh hai(it is a convocation ceremony; we should not reckon; it is
the end of study)
·
Hume agar zindagi mein safalta paani hai toh uski pehli shart hoti hai
ki hamare bheetar ka vidyarthi kabhi murjhana nahi chahiye (if we toil for the
success in life, the fist condition is that be;
the inner student must not die)
·
I have been to
convocations at various universities but attending a centenary convocation is a
different feeling.

·
The seed sown by
Mahamana has turned into a tree hundred years later. Mahamana was a visionary.
·
Britishers were also
building universities in those days but those were limited to Kolkata and
Mumbai.
·
What Mahamana did,
similar was done only 15-16 years later by Mahatma Gandhi in form of Gujarat
Vidyapeeth.
·
I congratulate those
who were conferred their degrees today. I also convey my good wishes to their
parents.
·
The demand today is
that not just India but the world should see our institutions. We want BHU to
be like Nalanda, Taxila.
This is the sixth visit of Prime Minister Modi to his Lok Sabha
constituency since May 2014. The tour comes just ahead of the Budget session,
scheduled to commence on February 23. The session is expected to be stormy in
view of the politically surcharged atmosphere prevailing in the country.
