Patna, Oct 14 (IBNS): Addressing the gathering at the centenary celebrations of the Patna University in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the university has nurtured students who have contributed greatly to the nation.
"I consider it my honour to visit Patna University and be among the students. I bow to this land of Bihar," said the Prime Minister as he took the stage with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar.
Political pundits were quick to point out that this was the first time the Prime Minister was sharing stage with Nitish Kumar after the JD(U) joined the NDA, breaking away from the alliance with Lalu Prasad Yadav and his party.
The PM said, "The commitment of Shri NitishKumar towards the progress of Bihar is commendable. We in the Centre attach topmost importance to the development of eastern India."
"In every state, the top levels of the civil services has people who have studied in Patna University. In Delhi, I interact with so many officials, many of whom belong to Bihar," the PM said.
Addressing the students, the PM said, "As youngsters, I urge you to think about innovative solutions to the problems faced by people around you. Through what you learnt and the Start up sector there is a lot you can do for society."
Urging the universities to move on with the times, the PM said, "From conventional teaching, our universities need to move towards innovative learning. Living in an era of globalisation, we need to understand the changing trends across the world and the increased spirit of competitiveness. In that context India has to make its place in the world."
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed by the Governor of Bihar, Satya Pal Malik and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on his arrival in Patna, Bihar.
