Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar has advised the student community to work with the larger interests of the society in mind.
Delivering his address at the fifth convocation of Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City (IIIT-S) here on Saturday, he quoted famed Telugu poet ‘Karuna Sri’ Jandhyala Papayya Sastry to drive home his point on selfless contribution to the society.
“All rivers flow for others only. Cow gives milk to others. Trees give flowers and fruits to others. What’s better in life than living for others,” the Minister read out the Telugu poem and later translated the same. He also suggested to them to practice compassion, i.e., believe in dignity, respect, equality and justice for everyone.
