Delivering his address at the 12th Convocation of the University of Hyderabad on the outskirts of the city, he said to promote and attain these was among the principle duties of the citizens and to be undertaken proactively rather than passively with a spirit of seeking justice and achieving fraternity.He called upon highly educated citizens to bear a special responsibility for promotion of harmony and spirit of common brotherhood, development of a scientific temper, humanism and spirit of inquiry and reform, and striving for excellence in all levels of individual and collective activity. ''As you leave the sanctuary of the university and step into the world beyond it, it is appropriate to remind you of this compendium of rights and duties, and of the need to reiterate your commitment to them''. He said educational institutions, including those of higher learning, can play a major role in this national effort of shaping the citizens. He said, ''Technology and globalisation have ensured that isolation is no longer an option and that we have to live in the world and with the world.
