“My dear Compatriots, may I put it to you that your life amounts to nothing if you cannot create any impact on your community.

Let me end this presentation with the words of John Dewey who said “education is not the preparation for life, it is life itself”. Education is a continues process that starts from cradle to grave (from birth to death). The day you stop learning, that day you stop living. Always remember the words of Aristotle — “the roots of education is bitter but the fruit is sweet”. The power to chose between life and death is in your hand. The ball is now in your court”.
