Emphasising the power of youth in redefining global governance and challenges, H.E. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim addressed the students by stating, “Learn to love one another and choose peace over war.” Additionally, she spoke on the intersection of women's empowerment and education by saying, “Educating women is not just the right thing to do, it’s the smartest thing to do.”
Expressing his views on the occasion, Dr Devanshu Patel, President of Parul University, also shared his thoughts by saying, “It is indeed an honour to welcome a leader like H.E. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, whose success story proves how the power of education and persistence can shape our students to think beyond boundaries and contribute to global progress with a strong mindset.”
