stand to gain equal opportunity for advancement in education and every sphere of
progress.

new era, as the Congress Party was determined to fulfill the dream of Gandhi and
Nehru of making the country the greatest.
Shri Agarwal exhorted the youth of the country not to get caught in the games of
the destructive forces, but uphold the ideals of the great leaders of the
country like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Smt. Indira
Gandhi and Shri Rajiv Gandhi and work for the development and growth of the
country, to make not only their own future bright, but the future of the coming
generation bright as well.
