Students of a college in Maharashtra`s Latur city have observed Social Equality Week by participating in an 18-hour study session to mark the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and Dr B R Ambedkar.
A total of 101 students of the College of Agriculture joined the programme, which began at 6 am on Saturday.
College dean Dr Babasaheb Thombre stressed the importance of time management and self-study, recalling how Dr Ambedkar himself studied for long hours. “Make the best use of every moment – that is the true mantra of progress,” he said.
Former principal of another Latur-based college, Dr Sanjay Gawai, said the initiative aims to instil a strong habit of reading and self-learning. He urged students to adopt at least one principle from Phule and Ambedkar`s teachings, and to rely on original texts even in the age of artificial intelligence.
According to college authorities, the 18-hour study activity has been organised annually for the past 22 years.
Phule`s birth anniversary falls on April 11 and Ambedkar`s on April 14.
