Block, Governor urged the students to develop the grit to face a world full of
problems. Governor observed that today there are few areas in the world which
are not facing one or the other unrest. And India is a large country which has
its own problems, but we should join hands and ensure that inimical factors,
internal and external, are not allowed to damage our socio-religious traditions
and communal harmony.
Governor emphasized on the teachers and students that under no
circumstances we should let problems take toll of our education schedules. He
noted that students of J&K, particularly girls, are extremely bright and
highly talented and it is our responsibility to provide our children a
stimulating environment which provides them advantage and a positive edge in
this age of high competition. He added that a well- aware society is capable of
establishing institutions which are efficient and welfare oriented.
