PM Oli said it while addressing the 50th convocation ceremony of the Tribhuvan University in the federal capital today.
Also the Chancellor of the Tribhuvan University, he requested the students ordained in the convocation to be honest and humble to make society democratic and cultured. Showing arrogance of knowledge is not good, he added.
