Girls outnumber boys in medal tally
DARBHANGA: Governor-cum-Chancellor Fagu Chauhan emphasised on bringing the deprived and marginalised section to the mainstream of the society and help them to participate in the development process.
Addressing the 10th convocation ceremony of Darbhanga-based Lalit Narayan Mithila University (LNMU) on Tuesday, the chancellor said, “Education is not only essential for procuring a lucrative job but also for development of morality in human beings.
The need of the hour is to bring the deprived sections of the society to the mainstream.”
“Bihar has a rich educational history as some of the oldest universities in the world including Nalanda and Vikramshila Universities were founded in this state. This heritage has to be taken ahead,” the governor said.
He also made a fervent appeal to the students and the university administration to conserve and protect the environment. “Pollution is the biggest challenge for mankind and cutting of trees is one of the important reasons behind it. We should take a solemn vow to keep the varsity campus green,” Chauhan said.
