Welcoming the Principals of Navodaya Vidyalayas to the Conference, Governor observed that Navodaya Vidyalayas are one of the best educational institutions in the country which are imparting quality education to its students and ensuring their holistic development. He mentioned that Navodaya Vidyalayas are satisfactorily working towards their objective of providing quality education to poor students, who are making their mark in various professional fields.
