New Delhi, 16 July (H.S.):

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday said that Shaheed Bhagat Singh College has played a significant role in nation-building for the past 60 years by imparting quality education while upholding the values of discipline and a Nation First ethos. She made the remarks while addressing the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the college. Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Yogesh Singh was also present at the event.

Congratulating the entire college fraternity on the institution's milestone, the Chief Minister extended her heartfelt greetings to the principal, faculty members, staff, students, and alumni for the college's remarkable journey.

She said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's education system is setting new benchmarks in innovation, skill development, research, and nation-building.
