Education does not merely mean academic education, what we have to do is to mobilise our people and build up the character of our future generation." He called upon the students to react to the challenges faced by the nation in the light of what you have learnt. Underlining the importance of scientific culture, the Governor said that science and technology supported by quality education was at the core of competitiveness and transformation of a nation.
