Noting the scenic beauty of the campus, the Vice-President remarked that Mizoram University is among the most beautiful campuses and stands as a symbol of what education can achieve when it is rooted in peace and purpose. Highlighting the transformation of the Northeast over the past decade, the Vice-President said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the region has been placed at the centre of India’s development narrative. He noted that improved connectivity, including the recently inaugurated Bairabi&ndash;Sairang railway line, along with initiatives such as UDAN and PM-DevINE, are accelerating development and bringing the people of the region closer to new opportunities. Emphasising the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, the Vice-President urged the youth to move beyond seeking jobs and instead focus on creating opportunities. He highlighted the immense potential of the Northeast in sectors such as tourism, bamboo-based industries, organic agriculture, handicrafts and digital services. Expressing concern over the menace of narcotic drug abuse among youth, he called upon young people to stay away from narcotics and lead disciplined, purposeful lives. He also advised students to use technology and social media responsibly, urging them to become masters of technology rather than its servants. Highlighting Mizoram’s rich natural heritage and high literacy, the Vice-President praised the state’s strong tribal traditions and environmental consciousness. Commending Mizoram University for operating substantially on solar energy, he urged the youth to play a leadership role in promoting environmental sustainability. The convocation was attended by the Governor of Mizoram and Chief Rector of Mizoram University, General (Retd.) Vijay Kumar Singh; the Chief Minister of Mizoram, Shri Lalduhoma; and the Vice-Chancellor of Mizoram University, Prof. Dibakar Chandra Deka, along with faculty members, distinguished guests, parents and graduating students. ********* PR/ASM/VMJ (Release ID: 2236287) Visitor Counter : 540 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Tamil , Malayalam Vice President's Secretariat Vice-President Shri C.
