He first greeted the audience in Hindi.
In his remarks, Fedor Rozovskiy, director, Russian Centre of Science and Culture (RCSC), who initially spoke in Hindi, urged students to stay focused at studies and thank parents for choosing Russia as a study destination for their wards.
"Study well, uphold dignity and discipline, and bring proud to the country by serving humanity with dedication," said Admiral (Retd) Robin K Dhowan, former chief of Naval Staff who attended the event. He also urged them to be the best cultural ambassadors of the country.
Some of the students were also awarded scholarships for their excellence in performance and academic achievements.
