Ensure full transparency in Gujarat Vidyapith administration: Devvrat

It was also decided to make the three agricultural science centres of Gujarat University model training centres for natural farming that will produce seeds, which will increase the production. For this, special training will be given to the agronomists of the three agricultural centres.

While the old and dilapidated buildings in the complex are being repaired, Devvrat said accommodation and food arrangements should be made better for the students in the hostel. He also emphasised the need for better sports grounds in the Vidyapith complexes.

He suggested conducting a detailed review of the various schemes run by the institution. If the core of the Vidyapith scheme is good, but the internal functioning is inappropriate and the funds are being misused, efforts should be made to review such schemes and make them behaviourally oriented, the Chancellor said.

He also recalled that despite being from Gujarat, Mahatma Gandhi made important contributions in making Hindi the national language. “Swami Dayananda Saraswati was also a Gujarati by origin but he wrote about 40 rare books in Hindi, so much so that he believed that Hindi was the only language that could bind the nation with the idea of unity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is always trying to promote Hindi language. Gujarat Vidyapith will also make special efforts to promote Hindi language in accordance with the ideas of Gandhiji,” he added.
