Rajya Sabha member and CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechuri was in the Academic Staff College, Jamia Millia Islamia, on Tuesday to deliver the valedictory lecture to the participants of the Refresher Course in Commerce & Business Management.
Over 40 university and college teachers participated from across the country. Yechuri inaugurated a lawn (Khayaban-e-Faiz) in the Staff college campus named after renowned Urdu poet of the subcontinent Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
In his talk, Yechury emphasised on the need for developing constructive leadership. Drawing attention towards the ensuing general elections, he stressed on the need to focus on issues of people’s concern rather than indulging in polemics of history. The Director of Academic Staff College, Professor Mujtaba Khan, characterised him a symbol of compassionate humanism and a leader of commitment.
