Joshi, while inaugurating the 106th Founder's Day celebrations at Hindu College today.

Mr. Joshi said educational institutions should be sensitive to the changing needs of society and also to the aspirations of students. "The present-day education institutions need to constantly strive to learn, innovate and take creative initiatives to remain relevant."

The Lieutenant-Governor was presented a book on the history and achievements of Hindu College titled "In Retrospect".
