FollowThe Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, reaffirmed the university's commitment to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of putting all Indians on the path to development and nationalism on Thursday.
"JNU is first in academics, first in research, first in nationalism, and first in paying our honours to freedom fighters, unsung heroes of this wonderful nation," Pandit stated at a varsity event.
She stated that JNU "reaffirms its support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's paradigm change, which has directed all Indians toward progress and nationalism... a vision with a mission" on the occasion of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
The vice-chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for a 'Tribute Wall' to honour the unsung heroes of Indian independence. In association with the Chakra Foundation, the Tribute Wall is being constructed.
The names of 1,040 freedom fighters will be inscribed on granite stones with QR (Quick Response) codes on the 60-foot-long and seven-foot-high walls. People can use the Chakra app to read about freedom fighters by scanning the code.
"We bring tradition and modernity together with the Tribute Wall, bringing a forgotten history back to life. We, the people, should remember the great heroes who have taken our freedom for granted. Please recommit to the nation in the spirit of these unsung heroes," Pandit stated.
Students in the audience greeted Pandit's speech with chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram.'
Puducherry Assembly Speaker Embalam R Selvam, Lok Sabha MP Ramesh Bidhuri, and Chakra Foundation Founder Chakra Rajasekar also attended the event.
Selvam stated, "The initiative to erect the tribute wall will inspire the next generation. This will impact the youth who are unaware of freedom fighters."
