Expressing happiness that 27 out of the 41 meritorious students were girls, Shri C.P.Radhakrishnan said this reflected the rising strength of Nari Shakti in the country. The Vice President also advised the students to stay away from drugs and harmful addictions, including excessive use of social media. He urged them to choose sports, reading, creativity, and to remain focused on their studies, goals and responsibilities towards family and nation.
