The city has developed tremendously under the last few years – airport, hotel, road infra. A majority of the students who came to receive gold medals were young women, with dreams in their eyes and energy in their feet. The University attracts students from humble backgrounds and the spirit to work hard and excel is tremendous. I hope through my words today and efforts later, I can do more for them. To the wonderful people of Gorakhpur, some of the warmest I have ever met, thank you for all the love.”
