President Ramnath Kovind has said that right education is the key to national regeneration. Addressing annual convocation of the Viswa Bharati University in Santiniketan of West Bengal this morning, Mr Kovind reiterated Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi’s vision regarding education.
Paying rich tributes, he said, Gurudev taught us to live in a manner which will fulfil the inner urges of the human self.
For this purpose, Gurudev felt it necessary not only to train minds of the students through disciplines like philosophy, literature or history but also to engage their souls with music, painting and fine arts besides paying attention to rural reconstruction and village welfare.
The President also recalled the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi on the formation of Viswa Bharati and its progress giving his full support to Tagore’s endeavour.
The West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar was also present on this occasion.
