Youth want world free of intolerance: Manmohan Singh

March 19, 2016 21:28

Amid the debate on intolerance and nationalism, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday advised the students to collaborate with various "decision-makers" to make the world free of inequality and intolerance.

"The youth of today has a bright vision for the future. They want a world free of poverty, unemployment, inequality and intolerance. The students should join hands with various decision-makers in public and private sectors in discovering and realising this beautiful dream," Singh said.

"Students are integral part of societal fabric. They must understand the importance of relationship between themselves as individuals and society....main occupation of students is studying. But this does not give them the liberty to isolate themselves from the happenings of the world surrounding them."

He was speaking on 'Creating Role of Students in Future of India' at `Bapu Gujarat Knowledge Village', educational institution run by senior Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela in Gandhinagar district.
