Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday urged the youth to identify new ways and strive to help the nation move forward on the path of development with faster pace. He, however, urged them to stay connected with the country’s age-old values and traditions and work in the field of their choice with humility.
Underlining these issues during his address to the National Cadet Corps(NCC)cadets here at their Republic Day camp, he also emphasised the need to mould oneself according to the changing times.
Rajnath also said no stone is being left unturned by the government to equip the nation to deal with challenges that may arise due to the fast-evolving global security scenario.
He also called upon the youth to eliminate the concept of ‘Use & Throw’, pointing out that directly or indirectly society and the environment suffer the most due to this practice. Saying that destruction of environment means destruction of life, he appealed to the youth and the nation at large to reuse goods as far as possible and work for the conservation of nature.
Rajnath also encouraged the youth to not let the ‘Use & Throw’ concept enter their personal lives, urging them to respect the elders, family and friends. He stated that while knowledge and education are important, life values hold equal relevance.
