He further advised the students to focus on academics and realise responsibilities.

Javadekar further urged the students to remember those people who contributed to their education. Students must work towards the well-being of the society when they come out of the institution. On the other hand, students need to focus on the work that is being done inside the campus, as it would be the deciding fate of this country in many ways.

According to Javadekar, higher learning institutes must play a vital role in creating knowledge and disseminate to the larger society. Earlier, it was possible to build the civilisations over knowledge gained from higher education. Therefore, students must think that the higher education arena is an important aspect of the life of students, and it would determine the course of India in the years to come, he explained.
