President Droupadi Murmu has requested all educational institutions to encourage research and innovation while also expressing hope that some students would become good teachers or professors. President was speaking at the 10th convocation of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University.
"Today, India has the third-largest start-up ecosystem in the world. All educational institutions, especially universities and technical institutes, should take full advantage of this ecosystem and encourage research and innovation among the students," she said.
The President said "their efforts would be an important contribution to making India a leading nation in innovation and technology. She also called for education to be connected with the favourable environment for investment and business created by the Global Investors Summit in Uttar Pradesh.
"Our universities should develop themselves into a centre where new research is done for public welfare, a hub of the fourth Industrial Revolution, and an incubation centre for start-ups. It would be very heartening if our educational institutions also become messengers of (a) new revolution and social prosperity and equality," she said.
President advised the graduating students that they should start working on whatever they want to become in life from today itself. Wishing that some students would become good teachers or professors, Murmu stated that education and teaching are interconnected. "For the best education system, the best teachers are needed," she said.
"Our promising students should give their valuable contribution in making the future of the country bright by adopting teaching as a profession," she said.
