Addressing RDVV's 36th convocation in Jabalpur, President Murmu highlighted Indian culture, women's empowerment and inclusive development
Jabalpur: President Droupadi Murmu on Sunday stressed the need for universities and institutions to inculcate the spirit of Indian culture and tradition in students, alongside modernity. Murmu was addressing the 36th convocation of the Rani Durgavati Vishwa Vidyalaya (RDVV) in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur. "Universities and institutions are expected to inculcate the spirit of Indian culture and tradition in students, along with modernity," she said.
Rani Durgavati, in whose name this university is established, was the epitome of renunciation, hard work and dedication. She has been recognised as the great ruler of the Gondwana Empire, Murmu noted. The President said Rani Durgavati has been a symbol of inspiration for women's empowerment, adding that it is essential to bring forward those left behind in the race for development and integrate them into the mainstream.
