Make India economic superpower: Prez to graduates

Gangtok, Apr 16 (PTI) President of India Pratibha Patil
on Friday called upon the young generation, particularly
graduates, to deliver on the promise of transforming the
country into an economic super-power.
"We (India) are being called a major emerging economy and
the foundation has been laid to make our country an economic
power. The present generation of our youths graduating from
the universities now must deliver on this promise to make
India an economic superpower," she said.
Addressing the maiden convocation of Sikkim University at
Saramsa Garden, about 14 kms from here, Patil said
universities and other institutes of higher learning educate
the students to make them better citizens.
The students, on their part, should take advantage of
their education to inspire self-confidence and bring about
changes in their lives as well as the lives of other people,
she said.
Referring to the Sikkim University, the Himalayan state's
first central university set up three years ago, Patil said it
has fulfilled a long cherished aspiration of the people to
have a higher institution of learning of national level in
their own place.
Acknowledging an apparent lack of infrastructure in the
Sikkim University, Patil asked the authorities to arrange for
the required facilities. PTI KDK
