April 14, 2017 17:45

Delhi Lt Governor Anil Baijal today said a nation does not exist if the people do not have nationalism.

Inaugurating a two-day convention in New Delhi on "Nationalism and Patriotism", organised by Veterans India--a group of ex-servicemen, he said youths need to be taken in a right direction for the nation's interest.

Referring to students' protests in Jadavpur and Jawaharlal Nehru universities, Baijal said "A nation doesn't exist if people of the country do not have nationalism."

Addressing a gathering of army veterans and school students, the LG also advised Veterans India to take forward their vision in spreading nationalism and also to channelise thoughts and ideas of youth in the right direction.

"Various reports say we are a nation with more number of youths and they need to be taken in a right direction for the benefit of the nation," he said.

Besides, Baijal said, MSME sector had the potential to provide jobs for large number of skilled labour.

"Organisation like Veterans India which has trained human resources should tap the CSR funds, NGOs and institutes providing skill-based training in order to train them to make youths access jobs in MSME sector," he said.
