New Delhi: Delhi Education Minister Atishi on Thursday advised students not to surrender to societal pressure and to take independent decisions. In her address at the 10th convocation ceremony of Delhi Technological University (DTU), she asked students to remember their responsibility towards the country and help make India a leading economy.

Making Independent Decisions

Atishi said, "Students graduating today must remember three things during this transition phase of their life. They must make their decisions independently, be responsible towards parents who dedicated their lives to make them successful, and the country that facilitated their high-quality education."

Responsibility Towards Parents and Country

She further added, "The convocation ceremony was also attended by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena and DRDO scientist Suma Varughese. A total of 3,620 students were awarded degrees at the convocation ceremony."

Inauguration of New Academic Blocks

Earlier in the day, Atishi inaugurated two new state-of-the-art academic blocks at the Delhi Technological University. The newly inaugurated blocks are each eight-storeyed and equipped with world-class modern facilities, Atishi said. These academic blocks will serve as an example where the students will have all the necessary amenities to help shape their careers, she added.

Emphasis on Research and Innovation

Atishi said, "Our technical education institutions should lead in the fields of research and innovation." The new academic blocks at DTU feature 36 modern labs, 67 lecture rooms, classrooms, faculty rooms, and conference rooms, the minister said and added these facilities can accommodate more than 5,200 students at a time.

Eco-Friendly Features

Additionally, the academic blocks are eco-friendly, equipped with rooftop solar panels, a modular rainwater harvesting system, and a connecting sky ramp, Atishi added.

The inauguration of the new academic blocks at DTU is a testament to the government's commitment to providing quality education to students. These blocks will provide students with the resources they need to succeed in their careers and contribute to the development of the country.
