Look at the number of high caliber people you are producing, I say clearly that a country is no longer defined by how many universities it has. This short-sightedness has become very old now, but what is valuable is how many people devote their lives in the passion of knowledge, in the path of research and in the spirit of spreading knowledge, to make their nation a conscious, civilized and conscientious nation. How many young people are there who devote themselves to this cause, blind to their personal aggrandizement and development, the real standard is and should be the standard, how many young people are there who want all the luxuries of the world. And they are doing solid academic work in some corner while closing their eyes to developments, for the elevation of the nation or for the discovery of an ideology or for any academic research and to make our country strong, these are the two real goals, the rest are only literate. To make the world and employability I think is no longer admirable for any university and I can say with full confidence and assurance that our Vice Chancellor and those who lead this university are never ready to accept this position. It should not be that the aim of our university remains only that educated youths are born in thousands and fit into departments, factories and shops and it is not known where they went.
