changing rapidly with challenges like unemployment and environmental
degradation. In this regard, she stressed the need to preserve the rich
cultural heritage in a fast-modernising world.

prepare themselves with knowledge, skills and resilience.

the students to learn from the forefathers, who built and preserved their
identity despite hardships.

focus on government jobs but also take up entrepreneurship, agriculture,
horticulture, tourism, citing that they should push towards self-reliance and
create opportunities.
