Declare November 7 as State Students’ Day, urges Vice-Chancellor
Dr. Ambedkar firmly believed education was the most powerful tool for transforming human lives and bringing about social change, says Bangalore University Vice-Chancellor
Bangalore University's Vice-Chancellor, C. Shivaraju, has called upon the Karnataka government to declare November 7 as State Students’ Day, paying tribute to the day Dr. B.R. Ambedkar first entered school. Addressing the Students’ Day celebration at the Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Central Library, Shivaraju emphasized that Ambedkar believed education to be the most potent tool for transforming human lives and bringing about social change.
He highlighted that Ambedkar's legacy serves as an inspiration for students, showcasing the transformative power of education in overcoming social barriers and achieving excellence. Drawing a parallel with Maharashtra, where November 7 is observed as Students’ Day, Shivaraju proposed that Bangalore University would present a request to the Karnataka government to establish a similar celebration across the State on the same day.
The Central Library Librarian, Raghunandan, revealed that Bangalore University had launched a signature campaign in support of this demand.
