He reminded the students of their responsibility towards their country and countrymen. Gandhi Ji said, students are the hope of the future. He said, You will be called upon, when you are discharged from your colleges and schools, to enter upon public life to lead the poor people of this country.<br />”<br />”Mahatma Gandhi asserted that an educational system is faulty if it does not respond to the requirements of the country.
