HYDERABAD: Governor N. D. Tiwari has advised the youth to keep studying as India has to become ‘knowledge country’. There is no end for studies, he said adding in Hindi: “Jab tak zindagi hai tab tak pado (pursue studies till you are alive)”, while inaugurating the Nehru Yuva Kendra Foundation Day and Nehru Jayanti here on Wednesday.
Recalling what Jawaharlal Nehru once said, he observed that only youth can save India. “The foundation of every nation is the education of its youth. The strength of a nation lies more in the quality of its people than in its material resources.”
Mr. Tiwari recalled his association with the country’s first premier and his visits to Anand Bhavan and Swaraj Bhavan in Allahabad. Holding Nehru’s book ‘Glimpses of World History’, the Governor recalled Nehruvian traditions which had strongly influenced his contemporaries.
Mr. Tiwari and Minister for Youth Services R. Damodar Reddy gave away prizes to 23 youth organisations which bagged awards under the ‘Youth Participation for the Prevention of Trafficking and HIV/AIDs’ (YPPTA) project. Eluru-based Navajyoti Harijana Yuvajana Sangham won the State-level award, while the Malakpet Youth Welfare Association was the winner in Hyderabad district.
