CJI Bobde on Universities 

Talking about universities, CJI Bobde said, “In the pre-independence era, universities were considered as an important institution. It was realised that in a society, education will serve as a tool for empowerment. Education is the most powerful weapon in the world. Growing up is an inevitable progression of life. What is the purpose of university education? They are not about bricks only; they should not function like an assembly line.”

He further stated, “Idea of the university reflects what we want to achieve as a society. I understand that most of it is individual decision making. The university students should march towards the common goal of society which changes from time to time. There is some resentment when it comes to discipline. Students should realise what society expects from them.”
