President Mohamed Nasheed meets with Maldivians studying in India today.
In his remarks at the meeting, the President said the Maldives was undergoing rapid transformations, and students were preparing to contribute their share to these changes.
He said contributing to the transformations in the Maldives required skills, knowledge and awareness to make sense of the world better and broaden the one’s outlook. The President said these were crucial for the current Maldives.
The President noted the importance of broader perspectives, and thinking beyond traditionally held beliefs, in order to maximize the use of skills and knowledge acquired through education as well as personal capabilities.
In his remarks, the President also highlighted the need for making university life enjoyable and happy to strive and achieve better results.
He also asked students to look after one another when they spend their life abroad, away from their families.
