Delivering address at the Golden Jubilee convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay, Prime minister Manmohan Singh recalled his humble beginnings and the struggles.
“When I look back at my own life, I feel humbled, looking at the distance my own generation has travelled,” he said.
“I studied in the light of a kerosene lamp, in a dusty village that had no power, no doctor, no school or college. I used to walk miles to go to the school,” Singh said. In all these matters, there has been an enormous improvement in the 65 years since Independence, he said.
“The progress that has been registered has often fallen short of the expectations of our people, particularly the young people,” the Prime Minister conceded.
