Promote Hindi, embrace swadeshi to build India 2047: Delhi CM at DDU college annual function
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, addressing students at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College, urged them to embrace Hindi, adopt swadeshi, and uphold Antyodaya principles for a developed India by 2047. She assured the college of consistent funding, praised Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya's guiding influence, and emphasized patriotism alongside academic excellence.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday called on students to embrace Hindi, adopt swadeshi and uphold the spirit of Antyodaya to help shape a developed India by 2047.
Addressing the annual day and prize distribution ceremony of Delhi University's Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (DDU) College, Gupta assured that her government would not allow funding shortages to hamper the growth of the institution.
"This college has struggled a lot in the past. What kind of education model did the previous government talk about, where teachers and professors were not getting their salaries for months? I will ensure that no work in college gets struck because of a lack of funding," she said.
The chief minister also urged students to be proud of their roots. "People feel privileged to say my Hindi is weak or that I studied in a government school. I want to say our future will only be secure and bright when we accept our present with pride," she said.
Gupta paid tribute to Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, after whom the college is named, calling him a guiding force for the nation.
"To run a country with such diversity was not easy, but it was possible only because of personalities like his, who gave the concept of Antyodaya, -- reaching the last man in the queue. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is following this concept," she added.
The chief minister said that along with academic excellence, it was essential to instil in students a sense of patriotism.
"No matter which degree we give to our students, the most important thing is the country," Gupta said, expressing hope that the college would celebrate its golden and platinum jubilees with pride in the coming years.
In a post on X in Hindi, she congratulated the newly elected student union and said her government had swiftly resolved issues of salaries and infrastructure in the colleges under Delhi University.
"Our youth power is the builder of a developed India 2047. Embrace swadeshi, promote and propagate Hindi, and move towards innovation," she said in the post.
