Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
DR. MANMOHAN SINGH'S CONVOCATION MESSAGE
"The concept of Integral education that is a Divine gift of
Bhagawan Baba to this Institute, comes closest to ancient ideals.
Blessed indeed are the students who have had the privilege of going
through an educational programme which combines deep appreciation of
the method of modern science and technology and the ancient Indian
knowledge and wisdom accumulated over the centuries. This type of
education can be a powerful means of self-perfection and social
redemption."
Dr. Manmohan Singh, the then Union Finance Minister (Convocation,
November 1995) |
