by our armed forces. He said we feel secure just because of the continuous
vigil and alertness of our forces busy in securing our borders. The Minister

heroes since the days of Satyagraha which culminated in the revolution for
getting independence from the foreign rule.

valour will be built in colleges and universities across the country and this
will be built on contributory funding by students and teachers on

the hope that this will help revive and re-energize the patriotic fervour in
our young minds.
The Minister said organising of such events help in
changing atmosphere in our colleges and universities. It is just to revive the
patriotic feeling in our youth. He said we are not interested to teach lessons
of patriotism to anyone as it is innate in every individual. But
its continuous revival is a dire need. Shri Javadekar said we do not want
to force it.
