Former Vice-President of India M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said there was a time when India was known as a Vishwa Guru, a world leader that many envied. “The wheel has almost come full circle and the time has come for India to reclaim its status of a Vishwa Guru,” he said, addressing a success meet organised by Sreedhar’s College for Competitive Exams in Vijayawada.
He said education should be treated as a mission and urged students to develop a passion to serve the nation. “Aim high, dream big and work hard to achieve them without losing sight of honesty and integrity.”
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘reform, perform and transform’ mantra, he said as part of the reforms ushered in by the BJP government at the Centre, transformation of individuals, the system and the entire country was happening at the moment. The system should be reformed in a way that every individual performs his or her role to the best of their satisfaction, he emphasised.
