Students and Nation Building The word student known as Vidyardhi in Sanskrit and Chaatra in Hindi has a meaning that can be explained by the following sloka from Sanskrit as “विद्यां ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम् । पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति धनात् धर्मं ततः सुखम् ॥“ the sloka reads as education brings obedience, obedience leads to competence, which results to wealth and thus one could achieve happiness in one’s life. Talking about a nation, a well-known poet from Telugu once said that a nation is not just soil but it is the assimilation of people. Building upon these, it could be said that a nation that has citizens who know the true meaning of happiness which is a result of their studentships certainly is the nation that attracts the attention of the world. This can only possibly be achieved from well-nurtured academic institutions that make students competent global citizens.  – S. Bharath Reddy MBA
