Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday vouched for greater participation of people and youngsters in the process of administration and Nation’s development. Delivering the Graduation Day address at the convocation of SRM Institute of Science and Technology at Kattankulathur near here, he said India is moving ahead in all spheres, it is shedding its image of the colonial past which was not people-centric.
There is a change in the way things are done, laws are being made which are more centered around the welfare of the people at large, he said. “India is emerging as a global hub for technology, innovations and whole world is looking towards our nation which has garnered the ability to churn out solutions to challenges that are not only bothering the country, but also the world. There is a need to bring out more
changes in the administration processes, there is more need for laws whose objective is the welfare of the public at large, it is here the larger scope for participation of youth exists,” Birla said.
“The knowledge, exposure provided at your institution will provide you with all the abilities using which you can move ahead in your life, battle challenges and emerge winners,” he said. In his address, SRMIST Founder Chancellor and Lok Sabha MP T R Paarivendhar said “you (students) may reach the pinnacles of glory in your life and you have to be grateful to your parents, teachers. You are what you are today because of their efforts,” he added.
