I want to thank the DU Vice Chancellor for dedicating the new college in his name,&#8221; Pradhan said. <\/p>\n<p>The education minister was speaking at an event titled &#8216;Sashakt Beti and e-Drishti&#8217; at Delhi University here, aimed at empowering marginalised sections of society through technology. <\/p>\n<p>As part of the initiative, Pradhan distributed laptops and tablets to orphaned girl students, daughters of single parents, and visually impaired students at university. <\/p>\n<p>The event also saw the launch of an advanced life support ambulance donated by the LIC Golden Jubilee Foundation and the release of a book, &#8220;Commemorative Volume of Donor&#8217;s Chronicle 2024,&#8221; which highlights the contributions of donors to the university. <\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:3--><br \/>BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended the event as the guest of honor.

In his address, DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh emphasised the significance of &#8220;dharma&#8221; (righteousness) in education. <\/p>\n<p>Reciting a Sanskrit shloka, he said, &#8220;Dharma is important. The 9\/11 attacks were carried out by well-educated individuals, but they lacked a sense of dharma, which led them to commit such acts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:2--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/union-education-minister-praises-decision-to-name-new-du-college-after-veer-savarkar\/articleshow\/116937917.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday lauded Delhi University&#8216;s Vice Chancellor for naming the varsity&#8217;s new college after BJP ideologue Veer Savarkar and accused those who opposed the decision of harbouring a &#8220;colonial mindset&#8221;.
