78th Independence Day
We have revived the pride
of Bihar's glorious history
by reconstructing Nalanda
University. Nalanda University
has resumed its operations once
again. However, we must once
again, in the field of education
revive that centuries-old
Nalanda spirit, live that Nalanda
spirit, and with great confidence,
work towards bringing new
consciousness to the world’s
traditions of knowledge in the
field of education.
Cover Story
taking on leadership roles.
n Today, in many areas—be it our defence sector,
the Air Force, the Army, the Navy, or our space
sector—we are witnessing the strength and
capabilities of our women.
n I also want to mention that the rape victims - our
mothers and daughters are highlighted all over
the media and discussed in society, however
the rapist does not make the news. Now the
need of the hour is that there should be a wide
discussion about the criminals who get punished
so that even those who commit such sins fear the
consequences including hanging to death. I feel
that it is very important to create this fear.
n When my specially-abled brothers and sisters
start communicating in the Indian sign language,
or benefit from the campaign of inclusive
and accessible nation through ‘Sugamya’
(accessible) Bharat, s/he feels respected and
enjoys dignity as a citizen of the country. It is
amazing to see our sportspersons come out in
flying colors in paralympics. They draw strength
from our compassion.
n We are making equitable decisions with high
sensitivity towards our ostracized transgender
society by bringing amendments and introducing
new laws for their incursion into the mainstream
and ensuring dignity, respect and equality for all.
Thus, we are moving in the right direction
of change.
n Today, through the new education policy, we want
to transform the current education system in
line with the requirements of the 21st century. We
have to prepare future ready skilled resources in
India to meet the expectations of the fast paced
development.
n We want to develop an education system so that
the youth of our country do not need to go abroad.
Our middle-class families need not spend lakhs
and crores of rupees.
n I firmly believe that the new education policy
emphasizes the importance of the mother tongue.
I urge the state governments and all institutions
in the country that the country’s talent should
not be hindered because of language. Language
should not be a barrier. The strength of the mother
tongue empowers even the poorest child in our
country to fulfill their dreams. Therefore, we must
emphasize the importance of studying in the
mother tongue, the role of the mother tongue in
life, and its place in the family.
