He also appealed to Governors to ensure that the programmes funded by the government are properly implemented by the states.
Barely a month before his term ends, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today called upon Governors to act as a 'guide' to states, adding that the office of a Governor is "neither an ornamental position nor a political position".
He appealed to Governors to ensure that the programmes funded by the government are properly implemented by the states. Their conduct should 'set an example' for the state administration, a media release from his office quoted him saying.
Addressing Governors, Lt. Governors, and administrators from various states and union territories at a lunch hosted by him at his official residence, he urged the Governors to frequently visit "as many universities as possible" in their state, in the role of Chancellor to the universities, and interact with the students and staff to motivate them.
He also suggested that they oversee the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 "in its letter and spirit".
