Girls exhorted to
develop competitive spirit
Ludhiana, March 27 Mr Kang was addressing students at the annual convocation and prize distribution function of Guru Nanak Girls College, Model Town. He said with the revolutionary advancement in Information Technology, the entire world had shrunk into a small village and it opened enormous opportunities for brilliant students. But at the same time, he said, it had created tough competition in every field. Mr Kang said in the present times, only those students who possessed professional skills and competitive spirit would make an impact. He advised the students to keep a vigil on the day-to-day developments at the international level and inculcate in themselves the spirit of competitiveness, as in future they were to make their own standings in the emerging world. Emphasising women education, the minister said to improve the social and educational standard, educating girls was of utmost importance as it would help in the harmonious transformation of the society and check the decreasing count of females as compared to males in the society. He said educated girls should shoulder the responsibility of creating awareness among the masses about the equality in male and female child, as in the present times girls were way ahead than boys in most fields. Mr Kang said teachers were true guides for students. He exhorted them to inculcate moral and patriotic values among students. He called upon educational institutions to extend full support to the government in bringing about qualitative improvement and professionalism in women education, so that they could be properly trained to compete at all levels. He called upon the girls to adopt traditional social and moral values and refrain from western culture, which ultimately created frustration among the youth. Appreciating the contribution of the college in spreading education among women, Mr Kang said the founder of the college, Justice Gurnam Singh, had a great vision and spirit of service to the society. He also lauded the role of privately-managed educational institutions and said the process of privatisation had been started in all fields in the country. He called upon the management of private institutions to keep substantial seats for brilliant students belonging to poor families and also help them financially in getting higher education.
