Gandhinagar:
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a convocation function at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
Here are the highlights:
Need to harness the power of youth
Youth wasn't part of the nation building in the last 20 years, if it was than the situation would have been different today.After you complete your graduation when people ask where are you working, you don't have an answer and have to hang your head in shame
Unemployment is the worst phase of youth's life
Self-belief can help youth tide over problems
University concept is 2600 years old
The Gujarat government has done a lot in the field of education
University system is not a new concept for India
We have forgotten our legacy in the field of education
Education should have a global outlook
I have full faith in the capability of the university and also in the strength of youth today. I trust the youth of this country
Youth are the new energy of this country
There is a need to save scarce natural resources
Gujarat has done path-breaking work in solar energy
Gandhi model has the solution for energy crisis
We can save land, also save water and use more solar power by innovative ideas
I have a dream of making Gandhinagar a solar city, I think the students from this college can make that dream a reality
Gujarat has done a lot in automobile sector, innovation needed in automobile sector
Cases in courts stuck due to lack of electricity in many states
India's power sector in shambles
Why are we having problems in generating power because of issues with coal - and why do we have issues with coal?
Congress government has done nothing for the youth
Youth and power will be the biggest strength in the future
6 crore people got employment during Vajpayee's tenure
Government has done nothing to promote skill development
Parties looking at youth for power, I talk about youth empowerment
