Students urged to create strong deterrent to corruption

Assam Governor Banwarilal Purohit today called upon students to create a strong deterrent to corruption as it hinders the nation's growth.
"Corruption takes birth in a society when its citizens digress from the common truth that the society is a common property", the Governor said in his address at the 22nd convocation of Assam Institute of Management here.
He also asked students to be change agents, disapprove corrupt practices and help the nation to grow faster and appealed to the faculty members to help students in building a strong moral character.
As management graduates, the students need to manage everything effectively and contribute to the growth of the nation, the governor said.

Referring to the phenomenal growth in China, Purohit said that it had marched ahead in all fronts because of its strong stand against corruption.
The governor also stressed on the need to maintain a disciplined life with highest mission and vision to work as change agents and help the society to set an agenda for development.
"Determination and strong will power can achieve everything and students must fix their goal and work relentlessly," he added.
