Don't allow anyone to dictate your course of action: Dhankhar to students

CHANDIGARH, Mar 5: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday advised students not to allow anyone to dictate their course of action, asking them not to be afraid of failure. Dhankhar made these remarks while addressing a convocation ceremony of Jan Nayak Chaudhary Devi Lal Vidyapeeth (JCD) in Sirsa. Haryana minister Ranbir Gangwa, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Singh Chautala, who is president of the Devi Lal Memorial Trust; and INLD MLA Arjun Chautala, who is chairman of JCD Vidyapeeth, were among others present.
At the beginning of his convocation address, Dhankhar told the gathering to always put the nation first, saying, "There can be no interest higher than the national interest. Personal and political interests are insignificant."
Dhankhar called upon the students to choose a career in life according to their interests and aptitudes.
"Allow your life to go like a river and not like a canal... there was a time when a child was born and parents used to decide what career their child has to choose," he said.
The vice president told them that India today offers numerous opportunities to the youth and they must take advantage of it.
"If you look around, boys and girls, your basket of opportunities is ever enlarging, it is there in the blue economy, it is there in the space economy. You are in Bharat at a time when no nation in the last decade has grown as fast and as large as Bharat.
"Be it economic upsurge, phenomenal infrastructure growth, digitalisation... Per capita internet consumption of Bharat is more than that of China and USA taken together," he said.
About digital transactions, he said these are four times more than the combined transactions of the USA, UK, France and Germany.
"If we examine our economy that was very fragile a decade ago... but today our foreign exchange reserves are over 700 billion.
"You are lucky to be living in times when Bharat is dotted with open possibilities. There is an ecosystem in place, affirmative government policies, hand-holding policies that allow you to exploit your talent and potential and realise your ambitions and aspirations," he told the students.
He said meritocracy prevails now and when that is the scenario, the students must think big.
"Never be under stress, never be under tension. And fear of failure is the worst failure in life because it is a myth, there is nothing like failure. It is an attempt that has not succeeded," he said.
