Underlining the importance of education the Governor said it is undeniable thing in the life which can help in gaining knowledge and enlarging vision of the world for the human being. “For example, one can gain huge amount of information by watching TV, using Computers and other media of Information Technology or reading books, newspaper etc. Information can be gained on almost any area of interest, viz mathematics, current news, exchange rates, other countries' cultures etc. through media and internet. All this is possible only through Education.”
