In his acceptance speech, the Governor said he considers himself as ‘Rajya Sevak’ who has been given an opportunity to serve. He said he didn’t deserve the honorary degree, but accepted the same in deference to the wishes of the trustees of the University.

Addressing the Special Convocation, the Governor said Indian culture is eternal and ever new. He said the National Education Policy has for the first time laid emphasis on moral values (Sanskar), Sanskriti (Culture) and education in mother tongue (Matru Bhasha).

In this connection, the Governor said teachers should set the example of good moral conduct through their own actions and behavior.

The Governor said India will reclaim its glory as a great nation, if our development process becomes comprehensive and all inclusive. He appealed to universities to contribute in the nation building endeavor.
