Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said no country can ever progress by ignoring youth power.
“No country can ever progress by ignoring youth power. We have to respect their sentiments and give them proper opportunity,” said Adityanath addressing the 115th foundation day celebrations of Uday Pratap College here.
“The country whose youth power is frustrated, guilt-ridden, and confused can never progress. Whenever there is or will be a change, it will be the youth power that will bring it about. Institutions will have to prepare themselves by keeping youth power as the focal point,” he added.
The chief minister said that the foundation laid by Rajarshi Uday Pratap Singh Judev in 1909 at the holy place of Baba Vishwanath reflects his great personality.
Adityanath said he (Judev) must have felt that for the creation of a future India filled with nationalism, such an educational and training institution has to be provided which can give momentum to the freedom movement and also provide capable citizens to the country in every field if required.
This year is very important for Uday Pratap College due to the 175th anniversary of Rajarshi. Rajarshi Uday Pratap Singh was the king of Bhinga State (Shravasti), but being the center of education, he considered Kashi to be the most suitable, he added.
