While addressing the 16th Convocation of National Institute of Technology (NIT) Raipur, Chhattisgarh Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said that the government is putting in all the possible efforts to improve the quality of life of the citizens.
He highlighted the importance of scientific findings and research so that the ideas could be effectively translated and applied in the field for sustainable long-term economic growth.
During the past eleven years India has changed under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The entire world is watching India with new respect as a nation that not only dreams big but also delivers.
The educational institutions like NIT, IIT and others are playing a vital role in nurturing young minds, connecting academia with industry and turning ideas into action through innovation and entrepreneurship and working towards making the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat into reality.
India seems all set to power the world’s next innovation wave. The mindset in the country has changed, rather than running after the jobs, the youth are exploring new options. They are emerging as entrepreneurs and job creators. They are generating employment, driving innovation, and building a dynamic economy. The young researchers are developing solutions to pressing issues such as climate change, healthcare, education, and technology. The youth are leading from the front. Theb have made India self-reliant and competitive on the global stage. Ideas of youngsters are not just building things, but are changing lives. In his advice to youth, LG Sinha said, “Remember, every innovation starts with a question, so keep asking, keep exploring, and keep working to take this great land of Bharat further on the path of progress.” As on date India is the global epicenter for Global Capability Centers (GCC) and 90% of them are operating as multi-functional units and contributing to technology operations, product engineering, and engineering research and development worldwide. By 2030 the numbers of GCC will increase significantly and they will be a powerhouse of innovation. Youth have to take the lead and ensure that they put in their best effort towards making ‘Bharat Viksit.’ Besides becoming job creators and leaders, they have to keep themselves abreast about the changes taking place globally. The advancements in machine learning, generative AI and autonomous systems are set to be major drivers of economic growth. The India’s generation-next cannot afford to become complacent. It has to adapt to the changing scenario and set an example that others could follow. |
