Shri Amarjeet Sinha, Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj, Govt of India,
Chief Guest of the 37th Convocation January 2019
I am overwhelmed with all the good work you are doing. I think we need another 2 hours to talk about all the things you are doing and how we can scale it nationwide. I don't know how many students you have today, but you got to have several million students and not several thousand. Everything that I heard deserves scaling. I think you are doing lot of good work in lots and lots of areas. And the key is to see if we can take this into every district. Every district should have a DEI and every district should be focusing on these new methods, new way of doing things, producing quality alumni. Like I saw some have dedicated teachers, new skill set. Everything I heard is exceptional. I take all I have heard on face value. If what you are doing is indeed a success for the last several years, it needs scaling immediately…
