Jaipur – Governor Shri Haribhau Bagde emphasized that India has been technologically advanced since ancient times, citing the great Nalanda University. He mentioned the burning of Nalanda’s library by Bakhtiyar Khilji, highlighting continuous efforts to destroy Indian knowledge.

He acknowledged Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to prepare Indian youth for global competition with expert guidance. He also encouraged private sector participation in strengthening the nation’s economy alongside government initiatives.
