CHENNAI: Union Minister of State for Law and Parliamentary affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal, talking on the sixteenth annual convocation ceremony of the Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies at its Pallavaram campus in Chennai on Friday, stated that so as to realise India’s dream for 2047, the nation should proceed to advance on the trail of science and technology.
He burdened science should play an important function in making India self-reliant. Referring to the 108th Indian Science Congress, he recalled how India is rising quickly within the area of science.
Tracing the historical past of business revolutions, he stated, “Industry 1.0 began in the 1780s with the invention of the steam engine, Industry 2.0 came in the 1870s with electricity and mass production, Industry 3.0 emerged in the 1990s with computers and electronics, and today, we are in Industry 4.0, marked by Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, machine learning, and ChatGPT.” He urged the graduating college students to take accountability for advancing science and technology, saying it’s their obligation to construct on these developments.
Quoting Tamil poet-saint Tiruvalluvar, he added, “Learn what should be learned, and once learned, live by it.” Highlighting India’s rising world place, the minister stated India is at the moment the world’s fourth-largest economic system and is poised to change into the third-largest by 2030.
