Srinagar: President Pranab Mukherjee said Thursday that people of Jammu and Kashmir
did have "grievances" and these needed "deft handling and speedy
resolution".
"I am aware there are grievances. Many important issues need deft
handing and speedy resolution," he said at the convocation address
at the Kashmir University here.
"The government of India and the state government are determined
to ensure that every Kashmiri lives with dignity having equal
rights and equal opportunities," he added.
The president said he looked upon the youth of Kashmir to forge
the future of India in every field.
"The India of tomorrow achieved through inclusive growth offers
enormous opportunities for the youth of Kashmir."
He described Kashmir as the 'Sharda Peeth', the seat of learning
in ancient times.
"This beautiful valley has nursed in its lap great men of letters,
poets and patrons of learning.
"The IT revolution has brought infinite opportunities. It has
greatly facilitated us in offering a modern, progressive and
relevant education to our students.
"The government of India, in its 12th Five Year Plan, has a well
defined strategy to achieve this. It includes expansion of
infrastructure with regional equity," he said.
Mukherjee laid stress on collaboration and linkages between
premier institutions of higher learning in India and abroad.
He said given its beauty and grandeur, there was an all important
need to preserve Jammu and Kashmir's ecology and environment.
"While I am among the bright young people here today, I would like
to highlight the relevance and need for greater tolerance in the
society," he emphasized.
It was Mukherjee's first visit to Jammu and Kashmir after becoming
the president in July.
