VP Attends Convocation Ceremony Of Dibrugarh University
The Vice President has landed in Assam earlier today to attend the 21st Convocation ceremony of Dibrugarh University. Jagdeep Dhankhar in his address speech highlighted the importance of participation and involvement of the eight northeastern states of the country.
The Vice President said, ”The eight states of Northeastern region are truly ‘Ashta Lakshmis’ of India; without their growth, involvement, participation and contribution, Bharat will remain incomplete.”
Dhankhar remembers the warriors of Assam who had fought great battles in the history. In this regard, he said, ”It is great pride that we recall heroic valour of King Prithu Jalpeshwer of Kamrup who defeated Bakhtiyar Khilji, the destroyer of Nalanda University. We also recall with honour the legendary Ahom warrior Lachit Borphukan who defeated Mughal armies in the famous Battle of Saraighat.”
”It is gratifying to note that Dibrugarh University has emerged as a focal point for preserving the linguistic diversity of this region and literary traditions. Preserving our language is very important. This was what we have got from thousands of years,” the Vice President continued.
