BEAUTIFUL MINDS

I am delighted to be in Shillong in this beautiful environment and interact with the Shillong children. My greetings to all the students, teachers and their parents. Recently, I happened to see the prize winning paintings of the children who participated in the Shankar's International Painting Competition. The paintings reflected the beautiful minds of the children. I would like to share with you some of them.

I am indeed delighted to be in the Mizoram University campus and interact with the students and Faculty. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the teachers, students and staff of this University and all those who have contributed in promoting excellence in educational standards of this University. Today I would like to share with you the thoughts on "Enriching the Society through Education".

Research and Teaching

I am very happy to be in Mizoram particularly in your village SAIRANG. Your state is a mountainous state and has four major rivers, large biodiversity and friendly people.

Missions for Mizoram's Prosperity

I am delighted to be in this beautiful environment of Aizawl and also to get this opportunity to address the Hon'ble Members of the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram. I am very happy to be here in the Mizoram Legislative Assembly which is an institution that gives vision to the state, evolves the legal frame-work for the policies and programmes of the state and gives shape to the aspirations of the people of this state, 50% of whom live in rural areas.

I am indeed delighted to interact with the students of Sairang. My Greetings to the Head Masters, teachers, parents and students.

My message

Dear Children, you are all in the mission of learning. What learning will give?

"When learning is purposeful, creativity blossoms.

When the creativity blossoms, thinking emanates.

When thinking emanates, knowledge is fully lit.

When knowledge is lit, economy flourishes."

Nobility in Mind:Righteousness

When I touch the commemorative coins of 100 Rupees, 50 Rupees and 1 Rupee, I reminded of a unique experience, which I had few years back that reveals how a single leader can inspire a large population. I happened to meet, in Delhi, the grand-daughter of Mahatma Gandhiji, Mrs Sumitra Kulkarni. She narrated to me an incident about her grandfather, which she personally witnessed.

Nobility in Mind

At the frontier, there are no borders

"Education is a life long journey whose

Destination expands as you travel"
