I wish the government would pay equal attention to strengthening our state universities and colleges. SRCC is already among the best, but institutions in smaller towns need more support too. Still, a nice gesture for the centenary.

As someone who dreamed of studying at SRCC but couldn't afford the fees, I'm happy to see it getting national recognition. The new NITI Aayog VC appointment also seems promising - hope his expertise helps drive real reforms. 📚

Good to see our PM engaging with educational institutions. But we need more such recognition for colleges beyond Delhi too - our regional colleges produce great talent but get ignored. Hope this sets a precedent.

A commemorative stamp for SRCC's centenary! That's special. I've always admired the college's legacy in producing top economists and business leaders. The Lahiri appointment to NITI Aayog is also a solid choice - his work on fiscal policy is well-known. 👏

Honestly, while this is nice PR, I wish our leaders would focus more on improving access to quality education for rural students rather than just photo-ops with elite institutions. But ya, congratulations to SRCC on 100 years. 🎓
