The kind of education and values a person receives in childhood shapes his character."

He said that Uttarakhand is the land of gods, the land of Gurukuls, there were such sages who composed Sanatan scriptures. All of the students studying in this great land of Veerbhatti are also children of sages and you will definitely bring glory to yourself, your family and your state.
"Our students are the future of the country. The responsibility of taking the country and the state forward lies on his shoulders," he added.
The Chief Minister said that today a new India is being built under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, under which unprecedented new works are being done daily in the country.
"In 2020, the new education policy made by the Prime Minister as per the current times was placed before us. The new education policy will give new dimensions to school education and higher education, it will also provide opportunities for people of all classes to get education on the basis of equality," he said.
"Through 'skill development' at the school level, youth will be able to work with efficiency. This will also promote research and development. The new education policy will definitely prove effective in fulfilling the Prime Minister's goal of making the country a developed nation. The dream of PM Modi is to make India the third-largest economy in the world in the Amrit Kaal. For this, everyone will have to fulfil their responsibilities, only then will we be successful," CM Dhami said.

The Chief Minister said that Uttarakhand is the first state to implement the new education policy in school education.
"Our government is committed to fulfilling its 'optionless resolve' to make Uttarakhand the best state in the country. I'm overwhelmed by coming to this dignified function of the school. After coming here, the memories of my student life came alive. The school was established in very difficult circumstances but today it has taken the form of a huge banyan tree. The Jagati family deserves congratulations for the education service they have earned by donating their land to this educational institution," he said.
