"Accessibility, affordability of education for all is fundamental in democracy:" VP Dhankhar
New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday addressed the 29th Convocation Ceremony of Jaipuria Institute of Management in New Delhi. Speaking at the event, Dhankhar urged corporates to invest in education, emphasizing that such investments fuel industry growth, skill development, and national progress. He further suggested that corporations should fully fund educational institutions and prioritize CSR funds for education and research. 'On this occasion, my message to corporates is: invest in education. By investing in education, you are investing in your future, in the growth of your industry. You are investing in skill. You are investing for national gain! Educational institutions must be fully funded by corporations. CSR funds must take this as a priority because investment in research is fundamental. Gone are the days when we can wait for others to transfer technology. If we do that, we will be handicapped right from the beginning,' he said. Vice President further highlighted the importance of accessibility and affordability of education, said, 'Accessibility and affordability of education for all is fundamental in democracy. Democracy cannot blossom or be nurtured without quality education.' Dhankhar also underscored the global recognition of technological advancement, showing the nation's prowess. 'The world has come to know our 'Akash' -- its potency, its efficacy. The world has also come to recognise our 'Brahmos'. Research will define where India will stand in the global comity of nations, whether concerning war or development,' he said. The Vice President also lauded the Indian Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike against the April 22 Pahalgam attack. 'I offer my salutations to all Armed Forces and the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the remarkable success of Operation Sindoor. It was a remarkable retaliation, befitting our ethos of peace and tranquillity, to the barbarity that happened on April 22 in Pahalgam--the deadliest attack on our civilians since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a message from India's heartland, Bihar, to the entire global fraternity. Those were not empty words,' he said. 'In the mechanics of war and the fight against terrorism, a new benchmark has been set. Indian Armed Forces targeted Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba bases deep inside Pakistan territory. These were India's deepest ever cross-border strikes, precisely calibrated to cause no damage except to the terrorist. No one is asking for proof now. When coffins are taken with armed forces, military and political power accompanying them, justice is done by Bharat to Sindoor in sublimity,' he added. Dhankhar further called for bridging the East-West divide to counter unclear narratives about the Orient, urging the youth to speak out against anti-national narratives. (ANI)

V-P Dhankhar says ‘can't help economies of nations against us,' as Turkiye, Azerbaijan face backlash
Amid calls to boycott trade and tourism with Turkiye and Azerbaijan for their support to Pakistan during the recent conflict with India and the government revoking the security clearance of an Indian arm of Turkey-headquartered airport ground handling major, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar Saturday said that the country can no longer afford to strengthen the economies of nations inimical to India's interest. 'Every individual is empowered to help the nation in security. Trade, business, commerce, and industry in particular can play a pivotal role on security issues. Can we afford to empower countries that are inimical to our interests? Time has come when each one of us must deeply think about economic nationalism,' he said, speaking at the convocation of Jaipuria Institute of Management held at Bharat Mandapam here. This comes a day after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said in Gujarat that the IMF should rethink the $1 billion financial assistance to Pakistan 'a big chunk of $1 billion coming from IMF will certainly be utilised to fund terror infrastructure'. 'Can this (funding from) IMF, which is an international organisation, not be considered an indirect funding?' he had said. Emphasising that one must keep in mind the principle of nation first, Dhankhar said: 'We no longer can afford, by travel or import, to improve the economies of those countries because of our participation. And those countries, in times of crisis, are positioned against us… Everything has to be reckoned on the fulcrum of deep commitment, unflinching commitment, dedication to nationalism because there is no other way out. And that mindset we must teach our toddlers right from day one.' Speaking of Operation Sindoor, he lauded the armed forces for doing 'justice' and said India had struck deep inside Pakistan to target terror bases. Dhankhar pointed to a recent trend of foreign universities setting up campuses in India and said that there should be 'filtration'. 'How can we countenance or overlook narratives that are anti-national? Foreign universities coming to this country is something which requires filtration. It requires deep thinking. It is something we have to be extremely careful about.' During the four-day military hostilities, the central government had said that preliminary reports indicate that Turkish-made drones were used by Pakistan. Following Operation Sindoor, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke by phone on May 7 to Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif to convey his solidarity and he told Sharif, as per a statement from his office, that Turkey supported what he called Pakistan's 'calm and restrained policies' in the crisis. Azerbaijan, too, came out in support of Pakistan. Following a ceasefire understanding on May 10, calls intensified to cancel travel to Turkiye and Azerbaijan and ending MoUs and contracts with companies and organisations in the two countries. The Confederation of All-India Traders Friday announced a boycott of the two countries.

'Remarkable Retaliation': VP Dhankhar Compares Operation Sindoor To Strike On Osama Bin Laden
Agency: Last Updated: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar described the Pahalgam terror attack as the 'deadliest' attack on our civilians since the 2008 Mumbai attack. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor and likened the destruction of terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir to the killing of Al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden by the US forces in Abbottabad in that country in 2011. Addressing the Annual Convocation of Jaipuria Institute of Management at Bharat Mandapam, Dhankhar congratulated PM Modi and the Armed forces for the success of Operation Sindoor and said, 'It was a remarkable retaliation befitting our ethos of peace and tranquility… Bharat has done it and done it to the knowledge of the global community." 'Justice done by Bharat to sindoor in sublimity," he said, highlighting it as India's deepest ever cross-border strike, executed 'carefully, precisely, calibrated" to cause no damage, except to terrorists. Without naming bin Laden, the Vice Presisent said the strikes under Operation Sindoor also took place in May just as on May 2 in 2011 'a global terrorist who planned, supervised, and executed September 11 attack inside the US in 2001, was killed. He was 'dealt with" by the US forces 'similarly". The Vice President described the Pahalgam terror attack as the 'deadliest" attack on our civilians since the 2008 Mumbai attack. He said PM Modi had sent a message from Bihar to the entire global fraternity. 'Those were not empty words, the world has realised. What he said is a reality," he said. In the mechanics of war and fight against terrorism, a new benchmark has been set in which the Indian armed forces targeted JeM at Bahawalpur, deep inside Pakistan territory, and also the LeT base in Muridke. The VP also took a swipe at the Congress leaders who had sought evidence of the surgical strike after the Uri attack. 'No one is asking for proof now. The world has seen and acknowledged, and we have seen the saga of how that country is deeply engrossed in terrorism when coffins are taken with armed forces and political power accompanying them," he said. Earlier, he praised the conducive environment of hope and possibility in the country, due to the government's affirmative policies, which hold promise for young students graduating from colleges. He said, 'Fortunately for you, unlike people of my generation, in the country there is an environment of hope and possibility." 'You all have an enabling eco-system, affirmative government policies that facilitate the fullest exploitation of talent and potential. You can realise your dreams and aspirations," he said. He urged students to continue their learning, as convocation does not mean the end of education. 'Always be a good learner and acquire the skill of self-learning," he said.

agdeep Dhankhar draws parallels between Operation Sindoor, Osama bin Laden's assassination: ‘Bharat has done it'
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar likened India's Operation Sindoor to the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden by the US. While speaking at the Annual Convocation of Jaipuria Institute of Management on Saturday, Dhankhar said Operation Sindoor was "India's deepest ever cross-border strikes." "A strike that was carefully, precisely calibrated to cause no damage except to the terrorist," Jagdeep Dhankhar said addressing an event of Jaipuria institutions in Delhi. Without naming Bin Laden, Jagdeep Dhankhar said, "This happened on May 2, 2011, when a global terrorist who planned, supervised, executed September 11 attack inside the US in 2001, he was dealt with by the US similarly." "Bharat has done it. And done it to the knowledge of the world," he said. Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda were key conspirators of the terror attack in the US on September 11, 2001. It's known as 9/11 attacks. On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four airliners in the eastern United States. They flew three of the planes into buildings: the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The terrorists crashed the fourth plane in a field in rural Pennsylvania after passengers heroically rebelled. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and injured thousands more, the FBI said. On May 2, 2011, under orders from then US President Obama, a special operations unit raided the compound in northern Pakistan and killed bin Laden. India launched Operation Sindoor to target at least nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir on May 7. India said over 100 terrorists were killed in the operation. Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian armed forces in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar described attacks on nine terror sites in Pakistan as the "deepest-ever cross-border strike" by India. He said that a new "global benchmark" has been set. While maintaining the spirit of peace, the objective has been to strike at terrorism. He said Indian armed forces targeted Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba "deep inside Pakistan territory". He said the strikes were so precise that only terrorists were harmed. Dhankhar said that after the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a message to the global community from Bihar. "Those were not empty words. The world has now realised what he [PM Modi] said is a reality," he said. He also said that the Pahalgam terror attack, which left at least 26 people dead, was the "deadliest attack on our civilians since 2008 Mumbai attacks."
