Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the convocation of Visva-Bharati University today via video conferencing. West Bengal Governor and Rector of Visva-Bharati, Jagdeep Dhankhar, Union Education Minister Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and Union Minister of State for Education Sanjay Dhotre were also present on the occasion.

Here are the live updates of Modi's address to Visva-Bharati University students:

The new 'National Education Policy' is a major step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat. It gives strength to research and innovation, PM Modi said while addressing the convocation ceremony of Visva Bharati University.
PM Modi: "Many people who are spreading terror and violence across the world are highly educated, highly skilled. On the other hand, there are people who are risking their lives and stationed at hospitals and labs to save people from a pandemic like Covid-19. It's not about ideology but a mindset."
"What you do depends on whether your mindset is positive or negative. There is scope for both of them. The path is open for both of them. It is in our hands to decide if we want to be a part of the problem or the solution," says PM Modi.
"There is no boundary for creativity" - with this thought, Gurudev laid the foundation of this university: PM Modi
"It is not just a university, but a part of a vibrant tradition. If Gurudev wanted to see Vishwa Bharati as just a university, he could have named it Global University, but he named it Vishwa Bharati," the PM said.
For Gurudev Tagore, Visva Bharati was not merely a place of knowledge, it was an attempt to reach the topmost goal of Indian culture, says PM Modi.
