Prof. (Dr.) Raman Kumar Jha, Vice-Chancellor Amity University Jharkhand, said we need to know the importance of voting since government is more important than political parties.
Sharing words of knowledge, Prof. (Dr.) Ajit Kumar Pandey, Director Amity University Jharkhand, said that our constitution includes Fundamental Rights which allows us to maintain equality and unity. He also said that youth energy should be properly channeled in the right direction.
Major General Anil Verma (Retd.) talked about the importance of knowing the election candidates and said that we should not pay attention to caste and religion; rather we should focus on national interest.
