Motihari, April 4

Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan addressed the 3rd Convocation Ceremony of Mahatma Gandhi Central University at Motihari, East Champaran, Bihar on Saturday, urging students to use technology responsibly for nation-building.

He said that convocation marks not the end of education but the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning, a statement said.

The Vice-President said that in a rapidly changing world driven by technology, fields such as Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are opening new avenues of innovation and growth, and urged students to use technology responsibly for nation-building.

He also expressed happiness that the University toppers in both Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes are women students, describing it as a reflection of the progress of women-led development in the country.

He noted that Champaran holds a special place in India's history, as it was here that Mahatma Gandhi transformed from a barrister into a mass leader rooted in India's villages, and the Champaran Satyagraha awakened the conscience of the nation through truth, courage and justice.

Highlighting Bihar's rich intellectual and spiritual heritage, the Vice-President said that in this sacred land Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment, where the ancient Nalanda University stood as a beacon of global learning, and where great thinkers like Chanakya emerged.

Radhakrishnan said that the naming of Mahatma Gandhi Central University is deeply symbolic, reflecting a commitment to Gandhiji's ideals of social justice, rural upliftment and ethical leadership.

He also recalled the contribution of Maharani Janaki Kunwar, whose philanthropy and donation of land played an important role in the establishment of educational institutions in the region, and said that such visionary generosity strengthens the foundation of education and social progress.

The Vice-President expressed happiness that the University has implemented the National Education Policy 2020 and introduced new integrated courses.

He appreciated the establishment of the Indian Knowledge Systems Centre and the University's emphasis on sports and fitness under the Fit India Movement.

Absolutely right. Technology is a tool, not a master. We need more Indian tech solutions for Indian problems - agriculture, healthcare, education. The mention of Nalanda's legacy is spot on.

Good speech, but I hope this translates into action. Universities need better infrastructure and industry partnerships for practical tech education. The NEP 2020 implementation is a positive step though.

Connecting Gandhi's legacy in Champaran to modern tech responsibility is powerful. True nation-building means using AI and data science ethically, not just for profit. The women toppers statistic is inspiring!

Bihar has such a rich history, from Buddha to Chanakya. Glad the VP highlighted that. Now we need to build a future where students from Motihari can become global tech leaders. The Fit India focus is also much needed for a balanced life.

Responsible tech use should be part of the curriculum from school itself. We talk about digital India, but also need to teach digital responsibility. The Indian Knowledge Systems Centre is a fantastic initiative to blend ancient wisdom with modern science.
