He exhorted the youth to dream big, work hard and become active partners in the country's prosperity. Education would be deemed to be successful when its benefits improve the lives of the poor, the marginalised and the last person in the society, he added.
Referring to India's journey during the last 75 years, Birla noted that India's successful journey as a democracy inspires the world. The World is looking towards India to promote the democratic spirit in other countries, he observed.
Birla mentioned Maharashtra's glorious history, saying that it is the land of many struggles and social and spiritual revolution.
Referring to Veer Shivaji, Jyotiba Phule, and Savitribai Phule, he noted that these personalities had played an important role in shaping the history of India, and they will continue to be our inspiration for the years to come.
