UP Governor Ram
Nayak said that cheating in exams is not only a threat but a cancer for the
entire education system which prevents the transforming of the youths into good
citizens and assets for nation.
"India
will be having the largest young population by 2025. It is essential that the
youths become assets, and not liabilities, for the country. This can be ensured
through quality education," he said at a function here to mark the first anniversary
of the establishment of Allahabad State University.
"To maintain
quality of education, it is important to rid the examinations of the scourge of
cheating. Widespread use of such unfair means is like cancer for the
educational system. The energy of the youths has to be channeled in a proper
direction and this can be possible only if they are properly educated," he
said.
He further
said that a University is not only recognized by the quality of building and
faculty but also by the caliber of its students. "Hence, it is essential
that our youths focus on all-round development of their personalities and do
not end up being mere bookworms," he said".
Deputy Chief
Minister Dinesh Sharma, speaking on the occasion said that Yogi Adityanath's
administration will soon be introducing a new policy on holding the elections
of the student unions. Deputy CM, who also holds the portfolio of the higher
education said, "We want to ensure students union work for the interests
of the students".
"Growing
unemployment among the educated youths is a cause for concern. We are working
towards aligning our education system with employment generation," he
added.
