Nation-building, J&K’s prosperity youth’s responsibility, says L-G

Srinagar, August 25

The responsibility of building a great nation and a prosperous J&K rests on the shoulders of the youth, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Wednesday.

He said young minds were the only force capable of building a peaceful, progressive and prosperous community. Sinha was addressing a special convocation of the University of Kashmir here.

Terming terrorism and violence as a curse for the civilised society, the L-G said while India was producing CEOs of Microsoft, Google and Adobe, the neighbouring country was pushing J&K’s youth on the wrong path. “I urge those who are misguided by the enemies to move forward with peace, love and mutual trust, and walk together on the path of development,” Sinha said.

Highlighting the reforms the National Education Policy is bringing in the education sector, he said it allowed students to learn things that matter and were relevant to an ever-changing world. — PTI
