New Delhi, (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday held an inspiring educational interaction with the students of the rural and tribal community of Santokba Dholakiya Vidya Mandir, Dang District, Gujarat at Gujarat Bhawan, here.
The program not only served as a source of inspiration for all these rural and tribal students, but it also provided them with the opportunity to openly interact with the country’s Home Minister.
On this occasion, Shri Amit Shah shared profound thoughts on education, youth empowerment, and the role of students in national development. The goal of this dialogue was to inspire students and address their queries related to academics and careers.
While answering students’ questions, Shah emphasised the importance of hard work, dedication, and determination.
He said that be it the celebration of ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Divas’ or the election of Droupadi Murmu as the President of India, these decisions have helped take the pride of the tribal society to newer heights.
He emphasised that the “upliftment and empowerment of the tribal community is our priority, and it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who gave the tribal community their rightful recognition after independence”.
Shah said that students are the foundation of the country’s progress, and their hard work and dedication will take India to new heights. He encouraged students to pursue careers as doctors, engineers, and civil servants, stating that if they make the development of the country their goal, their personal growth will naturally be assured. Therefore, their primary objective should be to work for the development of the nation.
He stated that the Modi government is providing quality education to tribal students by establishing Eklavya Model Residential Schools in every block having more than 50 percent ST population having at least 20,000 tribals.
He further mentioned that language has been a barrier for tribal students in the fields like medicine, engineering, and technical education.
Shah said that these decisions have given tribal students a new hope. He further added that in the six decades after independence, there was only one central tribal university in the country, whereas in the past decade, under the Modi government, two new tribal universities have been established.
The students shared their thoughts on education and career with the Home Minister.
Shah provided suggestions on how they could contribute to the progress of the country. The Home Minister encouraged the students to pursue their goals with hard work and integrity, stating that the role of students in nation-building is extremely important, and their success will play a key role in making India a leading nation.
