“This is the beginning of a new life for the students. I hope that they will devote their life for the betterment of this society and nation. I feel happy to note that Mohanlal Sukhadia University has moved forward towards developing a constitution vatika in their campus. I am hopeful that it will keep on reminding students about the unity and diversity of our vast land,” the governor said.

Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chancellor of Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Prof Amarika Singh outlined key initiatives and achievements of the university.
“Development work worth over 418 Lakh rupees has been completed in the university. A grand entrance is also going to be constructed on the west side of the campus, as per demands of the student.

It has to be a collaborative effort that will transform India into a golden land of opportunity and right education has to be backbone of it. I request all faculty members to identify the unique qualities of every student and groom them to bring best out of them,” Mishra said.
