Chief Minister Mahayogi was presiding over the closing ceremony of the 93rd Founder’s Week of Maharana Pratap Education Council organized in the auditorium of Gorakhnath University. Governor of Uttarakhand, Lieutenant General Gurmeet Singh was present as the chief guest.
CM Yogi said that the drug mafia constantly tries to trap the youth, hence the youth, teachers and academic institutions all have to remain alert. He appealed to the youth that if the enemy of the country tries to enter the society in some form or the other, do not give him a chance.
Excessive use of smartphone will weaken brain and vision
Chief Minister Yogi advised the youth to reduce their smartphone habit. He said-
- Excessive use of mobile affects eyesight.
- It dulls the brain and weakens the ability to think and understand.
- Excessive screen time affects both mental and physical abilities.
CM suggested that mobile should be used only when necessary and that too not for more than an hour. Control this habit gradually.
Technology opens the way to new employment opportunities
Preparing the youth for future challenges, CM Yogi said that today the world has entered a new era of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, drone technology and robotics. He said that one should not be afraid of technology. Technology does not reduce employment, but creates new jobs and new opportunities. We have to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for these techniques.
Success comes only through courage, patience and positivity.
The Chief Minister said that only he who does not lose courage wins in life. Negative thinking leads a person to defeat. If all people move forward together in the spirit of “Let’s light the lamp together”, there will be no room left for darkness.
There is no shortcut, success comes through hard work.
