North-east states’ students on Gujarat tour meet Modi

As many as 60 students from 6 north-eastern states, Arunachal, Asam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura, participating in National Integration Tour, organized by Students Experience in Interstate Living (SEIL) during January 1 to 17, are in Gujarat. These students, traveling with a theme of ‘Know India’, paid a courtesy visit to Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today.

Chief Minister, during a question-answer session with students, said that ‘To make India a world leader’ – should be everybody’s collective dream. Common people have great potential and capabilities and they should come out as leaders in all the fields for the good of the nation.

Talking about the right kind of leadership to tackle the present disappointing situation of the country, he said that Gujarat, with a right direction and people’s participation, has brought qualitative changes in Agriculture, Water Management, Power and other sectors. 18,000 villages in Gujarat are getting 24- hour three phase power supply. Gujarat has become global capital in solar energy, he said.

Students also showed interest in knowing about unique institutions like Petroleum University, Forensic Science University, Raksha Shakti University, Children University, Indian Institute of Teachers’ Education and others.
