GORAKHPUR: Governor Anandiben Patel while distributing gold medals to 51 students at the 38th convocation of DDU Gorakhpur University on Wednesday, said that gold medallists don’t ask for gold during marriage.
Patel, who is also the chancellor of all state universities, also distributed books and other gifts among 30 primary school students on the occasion and said that they are the future of the country. The chief guest was UGC chairman Professor DP Singh. Vice chancellor Prof VK Singh also distributed gold medals along with Patel. During her address, the governor advised parents to inculcate values in their wards and give them good education but leave the right of selecting their life partner with them.
She expressed her happiness over the large number of female gold medalists. “Girls are leaving boys behind in most universitie,” she said. She also directed the varsity to conduct a research on the reason behind it. “Boys should also come forward and catch up with the girls as balance is important for the development of any society.”
She said that those who lead in innovation, lead the world. Citing the example of Britain and USA, she said, “Britain was the first to use coal as an energy source and it reigned the world. Similarly America got hold over fuel and is leading the world. Today, the country that will be the frontrunner in using non conventional sources of energy, will lead the world.”
