Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.NEW DELHI: Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Friday inaugurated a world-class skill centre, Shaheed Asfaqullah Khan fitness park, an art studio and a high performing computer centre with 400 high-end computers, at Netaji Subhas University of Technology.
Speaking at the event, Sisodia said that the three biggest challenges before the country today were unemployment, lack of quality education and slow economic progress. To deal with them would be the biggest act of patriotism, he stated.
“Patriotism is within all of us but we adopt patriotism as per our convenience. The Kejriwal government has initiated Deshbhakti curriculum in the schools of Delhi to expand upon this patriotism. Its purpose is to increase the scope of patriotism in everyday life and to eliminate the fragmented patriotism as it exists today,” Sisodia said.
Adding that it was important to think of the “immortal martyrs,” the deputy CM said, “Our patriotic martyrs sacrificed their lives to liberate the country. Now the patriotic youth through their knowledge should prepare to deal with these challenges before the country.”
He also said that over 12,000 youths had joined the “Desh Ke Mentor” programme within one week of its launch.
“Education has a wide dimension. We want the community to be associated with education and work to make it a mass movement. The youth should fulfil their responsibility towards the nation by becoming a mentor. Some credit points will also be given to college students who become mentors,” Sisodia said.
