President Droupadi Murmu on February 28 urged students to work for a prosperous and developed India.
She was addressing the third convocation of Central University Jharkhand (CUJ) in Ranchi.
"India is one of the youngest countries in the world where 55% population is below 25 years. India is the fifth largest economy in the world, and it is going to be third largest by 2030. As you know we have set a target to make India a developed country by 2047, so, there is a golden opportunity for students, and we have to make use of the situation accordingly," she said.
Ms. Murmu urged students to take a pledge that in whatever field they work, they will work for a developed India.
