Chief Election Commissioner of India Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday (August 1) said efforts would continue to make India’s electoral rolls more transparent and accurate, and asserted that attempts to undermine the country’s electoral system would not be allowed.

Addressing the 30th convocation of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham at Ettimadai near Coimbatore, he urged the youth not to be misled by misinformation or baseless allegations, but to seek the truth and act with discernment.

“A forward-looking India places its faith in the new generation. The nation relies on your confidence and tireless hard work. Your active contribution is vital for India’s greater development,” he said.

A total of 2,197 undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students from the Coimbatore campus received their degrees.
