New Delhi : Justice Arun Mishra, Chairperson, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), India, on February 21, 2022, urged the students to value and constructively use time, which he said is ‘a perishable commodity”, to become better citizens and hence paying back the debts to the motherland by being custodians of the planet Earth. He was inaugurating the Commission’s flagship 15 days online short internship programme.
Justice Mishra pressed on the fact that not only litigation but provision of entitlement and ameliorative measures for the upliftment of poor and down-trodden would ensure justice in its true sense. The students, who have an immense caliber of leading the country in the future, should think in terms of being a helping hand during hours of distress providing equal justice irrespective of any differences, he said, according to an NHRC release.
Justice Mishra, pointing at the fast paced changing times, encouraged the students to constructively use the means of cyber space. He said the cyber space can be used to enhance knowledge but also cautioned the impending apparent dangers.
Exhorting the students to orient themselves to finding solutions to various problems facing the people in the country, Justice Mishra said that they should strive to make the best use of these interactive sessions by eminent experts on different aspects of human rights.
A total of 74 student interns from across the country are participating in the online internship. NHRC Member Rajiv Jain Secretary General, Bimbadhar Pradhan, and Joint Secretary Anita Sinha, also addressed the interns on the occasion in the presence of NHRC Member Justice M M Kumar, Jyotika Kalra, Registrar (L) Surajit Dey, DG (I) Santosh Mehra and other senior officers of the Commission.
