Daltonganj, January 17: Nilamber Pitamber University today held its 15th foundation day. The gathering was modest but it would have been far more enthusiastic had there been more and more students here today. There were retired teachers and elites of the town as well. Discipline was all-pervasive.
Academic advisor to governor cum chancellor of the state universities Dr E Balagurusamy who was the chief guest said, “India has voluminous population of youths but usable youths are less. Youths have to be usable.”
He asked students to go for promoting creativity and innovation as simply learning by rot will not take them anywhere.
Criticising his own home state Tamil Nadu from where he comes, Balagurusamy said this state of him is neck deep in corruption. India tops in corruption. This is sad and worrisome, he added.
