Attending a programme organised by the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan here, Gogoi called upon the children to emulate the ideals of Nehru.
Terming Nehru as a symbol of integration, Gogoi said the first premier fought against British Imperialism and laid the foundation of a modern India with pluralism and diversity as the hallmarks of the country.
The chief minister also interacted with the children and distributed confectionaries among them.
Gogoi also felicitated nine students for their achievements in different disciplines at national and international events.
