Honorable Chief Justice of India Shri Altamas Kabir present during the occasion

GNLU is completing a decade and it has created a new ray of hope among students: Shri Modi

This University is a mini-India and each student is not only going with a law degree but also becoming an Ambassador of Gujarat: Shri Modi

There is a different joy of student life. When you go out, life brings various questions and that is when our Shiksha and Diksha are tested: Shri Modi

Till now you had someone to guide you. After this you will not find anyone who will say that. Now what you learnt will guide you: CM

In the sphere where you have studied you get a chance to serve the poorest of the poor. I urge you to serve the poor and give them quick justice: Shri Modi

 

On the evening of Saturday 19th January 2013 Shri Narendra Modi addressed the 4th convocation ceremony of the Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar. The Chief Minister congratulated the students who received their degrees and wished them the very best for their future. He asked the students to go out with the determination to serve society. The Honorable Chief Justice of India Shri Altamas Kabir was present at the occasion.

Shri Modi stated that GNLU is now completing a decade and that it has created a new ray of hope among students and legal circles. “After 10 years, I can say we are going ahead in the right direction. I am sure students who have passed out of here are being appreciated for their work and that is when they remember the university.”

The Chief Minister pointed that the University is a mini-India and that each student is not only going with a law degree but also becoming a brand ambassador of Gujarat. “Gujarat is proud that a student who studied here is a Brand Ambassador of the state and will fondly remember the time they spent here,” he stated.

Talking to the students about the student life the Chief Minister opined, “There is a different joy of student life. When you go out, life brings various questions and that is when our Shiksha and Diksha are tested.” He further said, “Till now you had someone to guide you. After this you will not find anyone who will say that. Now what you learnt will guide you. This is the start of life. I am sure your experience here will shape your experience in future and inspire you.” The Chief Minister avowed that without a Guru decisions can be tough but if our Shiksha and Diksha is good then we can overcome these challenges.

Shri Modi urged the students to serve the poor as they leave the University. He said, “In the sphere you where you have studied you get a chance to serve the poorest of the poor. To give justice to someone is not a small thing. I urge you to serve the poor and give them quick justice.”

On a different note, Shri Modi stated that the students must remember each and every person who made their College life for the last few years possible. “Do not think you had the money that’s why you were sent here. Do not only remember your professors, books. Remember the trees under which you sat in thought, remember the place where you had tea at night, remember the Dhobi, the person who ironed your clothes. Life is not made by the money of our fathers but the support of the people,” Shri Modi told the students.

The Chief Minister shared that the concept of convocations is not new to our culture and that mention of convocations has been made in the Taittiriya Upanishad and that in our culture we accord greater importance to Diksha than Shiksha. He pointed out to the students that they must be blessed that the Chief Justice of India is present during the convocation.

Apart from Honorable Chief Justice Shri Altamas Kabir and Shri Modi, Justice of the Supreme Court of India Shri Anil Dave, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court Justice Shri Mohit Shah, Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court Shri Prakash Tatia, Ministers Shri Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, Shri Pradipsinh Jadeja and Director of GNLU Shri Bimal Patel were present on the occasion.

PM Modi rallies in Alipurduar, West Bengal with a resounding Call to Action
May 29, 2025
QuoteThis is a decisive moment for West Bengal’s young generation. You hold the key to transforming the future of Bengal: PM in Alipurduar
QuoteFrom the land of Sindoor Khela, India showcased its strength through Operation Sindoor: PM Modi in West Bengal
QuoteTMC deliberately deny these benefits to Bengal’s poor, SC/ST/OBC communities, and tribal populations: PM’s strike against the TMC governance
QuoteThe voice of Bengal is loud and clear: Banglar chitkar, lagbe na nirmam shorkar! (Bengal’s cry: We reject a ruthless government!): PM Modi
QuoteA BJP-NDA government would bring development, security, and justice to every citizen: PM Modi’s reassurance in Bengal
QuoteTMC’s brutal governance has led to violence, unemployment, and corruption: PM while addressing Alipurduar

In a powerful address to a massive crowd in Alipurduar, West Bengal, PM Modi ignited the spirit of the people, especially the youth, urging them to take charge of shaping a prosperous future for Bengal and India. With a clear vision for a Viksit Bengal and a Viksit Bharat, PM Modi exposed the failures of the TMC government and called upon the people to defeat divisive and appeasement-driven politics ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections.

Addressing the youth, PM Modi asserted, “This is a decisive moment for West Bengal’s young generation. You hold the key to transforming the future of Bengal.” He outlined five critical issues afflicting the state: “Rampant violence and lawlessness, growing insecurity among women, rising youth unemployment, deep-rooted corruption eroding public trust, and TMC’s self-serving politics that deny the poor their rightful benefits.”

Citing incidents in Murshidabad and Malda, he strongly condemned the TMC’s selective inaction and favouritism. He declared, “The people of Bengal have lost faith in the TMC’s governance. Courts are forced to intervene in every matter because the state government has failed to uphold justice. The voice of Bengal is loud and clear: Banglar chitkar, lagbe na nirmam shorkar! (Bengal’s cry: We reject a ruthless government!).”

PM Modi also lambasted the TMC for shielding corrupt leaders, particularly in the teacher recruitment scam, and demanded accountability.

Focusing on the plight of tea garden workers in Alipurduar, he said, “TMC’s misgovernance has led to the closure of tea estates, robbing thousands of their livelihoods. The disgraceful mishandling of workers’ provident funds reflects their disregard for the hardworking people. The BJP is committed to ensuring justice for every tea garden worker.”

He further criticized the TMC for blocking key central welfare schemes such as Ayushman Bharat, Vishwakarma Yojana, and PM JANMAN Yojana. “While the rest of the nation benefits from free healthcare, housing, and skill development, TMC deliberately deny these benefits to Bengal’s poor, SC/ST/OBC communities, and tribal populations,” he said.

On infrastructure development, PM Modi highlighted how the TMC has stalled projects worth over ₹90,000 crore, including railways, metro, highways, and hospitals. “This is nothing short of betrayal. While other states participate in NITI Aayog’s Governing Council meeting to plan for progress, TMC skips crucial meetings, choosing politics over development,” he said.

Touching upon national security and cultural pride, PM Modi invoked Bengal’s spirit. “From the land of Sindoor Khela, India showcased its strength through Operation Sindoor. After the barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam, our forces destroyed terrorist hideouts in Pakistan, sending a clear message—any attack on India will face a decisive response. The roar of Bengal’s tiger echoes: Operation Sindoor is not over.”

In his concluding remarks, PM Modi appealed to the people of Alipurduar and across Bengal to reject the TMC’s oppressive governance. He assured that a BJP-NDA government would bring development, security, and justice to every citizen. He urged the youth to take this message door-to-door and work towards a decisive victory for the state’s future.
