addressing the convocation Draupadi Murmu remembered his days. She said that after completing her schooling at Unit-2 Girls School in Bhubaneswar, she studied in this institute for four years. The love and affection of the teachers of that time cannot be forgotten.

‘Women have proved their strength in every field’
Addressing the girl students, the President said that they should feel proud as girl students, that is, as representatives of women. Women in India have played an important role since ages. From management of family to governance of the country, from literature, music and dance to leadership, women have proved their strength in every field. Women empowerment is no longer a slogan, it has become a reality to a great extent. Girls are not only at par with boys, but in some areas they are even ahead of boys.

The President said that India is the largest democracy in the world. It is a matter of happiness that the representation of women is increasing in all democratic institutions from Panchayat to Parliament.
