Varanasi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed students at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi. Below are the highlights:
- I have got opportunities to attend such ceremonies in the past but to come here, on this special occasion is definitely special.
- People who studied here have contributed through various ways, be it as a doctor, a teacher, a civil servant
- I congratulate those who were conferred their degrees today. I also convey my good wishes to their parents
- After you receive your certificate, the way the world will look at you changes
- The demand today is that not just India but the world should see our institutions. We want BHU to be like Nalanda, Taxila.
- The student within you should never die or shrivel. Curiosity makes the roots of development stronger.
- How to do something new every moment- that is the real fun in life. Sometimes I feel it is better to die than shrivel
- World faces several challenges. We should think about what role India can play in overcoming these challenges
- I have expectations from BHU students. There are problems facing the country. Can solutions be provided?
- Today, the world is concerned about global warming and climate change. All countries met in Paris and pledged to reduce temperature by 2% by 2030. If this doesn't happen, many countries will go underwater.
