In his key note address, Ojha said the teachings of Bapu continue to be a source of timeless relevance and inspiration to India and abroad.

After celebrating Gandhi Jayanti these officers took brooms and swept the concrete base of the portico of this university office which runs from the rest house of the zila parishad Daltonganj since the year 2009. 

Registrar Amar Singh who is passionate about saplings/trees had got many saplings planted here in this rented campus of this university and these growing trees became a witness to the show of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan of the Prime Minister today.   

The team of officials was later group photographed in which the university’s lone sweeper Shankar was most prominently present.

VC Ojha told The Pioneer “Since it is Gandhi Jayanti and hence I have the honour to salute this Father Of Nation first but I made this point that our sweeper Shankar too joins this celebration and he did take part in this celebration like others with same zeal and comfort which gave us immense satisfaction”.

Refreshment offered by the university further cheered up the mood on this Gandhi Jayanti. In the year 2014 the year of launch of PM Narender Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan this NPU had made a beginning and on its second anniversary today Friday October 2 it pledged its commitment to the Abhiyan with same energy said university sources.
