Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) B D Mishra on Saturday called upon the students of the State to study for knowledge and competence and not only for receiving certificates and recognition.
Mishra who was interacting with the meritorious students of 13 eastern districts of the State at the Darbar Hall of Raj Bhawan in Itanagar said, “It is the right time and age for you to inculcate integrity, respect for teachers and elders and passion for hard work and you must start from this moment itself.”

“Have a lofty vision and go about it with diligence, discipline, and commitment,” he added.
Mishra urged the young children to be good citizens, good human being and think out of the box at all times. He suggested to them to not only study for getting jobs but also to become an entrepreneur, a job provider and an innovator.
Interacting with the students who told him that they were comfortable in Hindi, the Governor said that Arunachal Pradesh is the only State in India, where the people speak and interact with each other in Hindi. He further said that the spirit of nationalism is immense, unique and par excellence amongst the people of the State.
