Chief Justice Surya Kant Emphasizes Character and Responsibility at University and Judicial Events

Significant Messages from Chief Justice Surya Kant

Recently, Chief Justice Surya Kant delivered impactful messages at two distinct events. During the convocation ceremony at Chaudhary Bansi Lal University in Bhiwani, he highlighted the importance of instilling strong character and responsibility in students, referring to them as the future of the nation. In another event in Jaipur, organized by the 'Association of Retired Judges', he discussed the significance of public trust in the judiciary and the invaluable experiences of former judges.

A Special Message for Students

While addressing students in Bhiwani, the Chief Justice emphasized that academic degrees alone do not guarantee success. He stated, "Success comes from discipline, hard work, effective time management, and a constant desire to learn." He elaborated on the broader purpose of education, asserting that it should not only focus on securing employment but also on fostering self-confidence and strong moral values. He encouraged students to draw inspiration from great leaders like Swami Vivekananda and Nelson Mandela to contribute positively to the development of the nation and society.

Public Trust in the Judiciary

During the Jaipur event, he remarked on the deep trust the public has in the judiciary and related institutions. Maintaining this trust is a collective responsibility, he noted. He likened retired judges to Rajasthan's 'baoris' (stepwells), stating that just as baoris provide water during droughts, the experiences of former judges remain invaluable today. Their knowledge serves as a precious resource for society, particularly in community courts and mediation efforts.
