Metro India News | AMARAVATI

Tribal youth in the country should mentally prepare to change and develop socio-economic and educational situations with the help of government efforts, President Droupadi Murmu said on Tuesday.

Addressing the first convocation of the Central Tribal University of Andhra Pradesh here, Murmu said the graduating students have to contribute to the progress of the country, where development is equal, and no one is left behind.

"Today, the government is trying to bring the Tribal and Adivasi people forward. But what is my responsibility? What will be the result of the government giving me so much support? That is why, from today, we have to be mentally prepared — not for ourselves, but for society, to change society, education, culture, tradition, economy, and to bring society forward," she said.

"We have to make the government's efforts a reality," Murmu added. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Andhra Pradesh HRD Minister Nara Lokesh also spoke at the event.
