The ancient wisdom by saints and seers and contribution of great scientists is what actually forms the foundation of modern India, he added.
On the occasion, the Lt Governor urged all the teachers to dedicate themselves to opening the minds of their students to new ideas, stirring curiosity and nurturing creativity by creating an open environment for their growth and eventually facilitating in building a new society in future.
