On the occasion, the Governor and Chancellor stated that instructions have been issued to all universities in Jharkhand to ensure students receive their degrees on time and conduct regular classes.

Finance Minister Calls on Students to Enter Politics
On the occasion, Finance Minister Radhakrishna Kishore stated that only education can bring about change in society. Education plays a crucial role in eliminating feelings of hatred. All people in society are equal. After receiving higher education, people say they want to become high-ranking officials, but they don't say they want to become MLAs or MPs. He advised educated individuals to participate in politics and enter the Assembly and Parliament.
He further stated that only 157 people have registered for PhDs in 18 years, which is sad. The university should move forward. He asked what the university's Geology Department's vision is for water conservation in Palamu. The Palamu region is drought-prone. The Minister urged the university to do something different and innovative. Only 16 percent of students in the Palamu region pursue higher education after passing intermediate. A University Commission will be formed in Jharkhand to appoint teachers.
The Finance Minister urged the Governor that there is a severe shortage of teachers in colleges. Gold medalists should be included in the teaching work. The Governor directed the Vice Chancellor to this effect.
