उत्तर

The true spirit of democracy can be developed only in universities. A broad–minded person alone can appreciate other’s points of view and adjust ideological differences through discussions. In universities, a lot of opportunities are made available for debate. Friendly discussions provide ample scope for nurturing the broad-mindedness of the youth.
