Haryana and Punjab Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki today said that youth is the backbone of the country and exuded confidence that they will play a pivotal role in making India the next super power.
Noting that education is a vital element in empowering the youth, Solanki said need of the hour was to sharpen their skill to make the country self-reliant in every field.
More responsibility lies on the teaching community and they should consider education as a mission rather than treating it casually, he said.
"They have a much bigger role in shaping the destiny of the country by shaping the future of the young brains and in forming a healthy society," he added.
He asked academicians, educationists and intellectuals to develop action-oriented and progressive programmes to encourage youth to achieve academic brilliance and take the state forward on the track of growth and development.
Solanki said that he strongly believes that apart from the curriculum based education system, inculcating moral and spiritual values into our future generations is also very essential.
