True to our heritage, India remains committed for every effort to further this journey of Yoga as it becomes the elixir for quality human lives. Yoga has brought the world together for a better tomorrow.

The Yoga Mahotsav aims to promote inclusivity and celebrate diversity by involving different segments of society in activities that promote health. I call upon everyone to adapt Yoga in their daily lives and enjoy the wonder fruits of India’s rich heritage in their lives.”

The direction, pace and timing of our growth & progress is intrinsically linked with the students community. Today, we are fortunate to have a vibrant and enthusiastic student community that are ambitious and committed to the cause of nation building.

As India forays into Amrit Kaal, to realise the vision of Prime Minister Modi ji to make India Atmanirbhar, it gives me immense pleasure to witness students with dedication, commitment and intent towards the cause of nation building. I am confident that the students of Dibrugarh University will continue to make the country proud with their work in respective fields which will help build solutions for a better tomorrow.”
