IIT students to shape India's destiny by 2047, says Jagdeep Dhankhar

In IITs, people from the village come, people from humble backgrounds come, people who have made it with great difficulty said the Vice President of India.

Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar visited the IIT Delhi today and interacted with the students and faculty.

While addressing he said, "In IITs, people from the village come, people from the humble background come, people who have made it with great difficulty. But a different impression is sold to the outside world. There are certain forces peddling false narrative to taint and tarnish the image of Bharat and its institutions."

"All students before me are the foot soldiers! You are warriors of Bharat at 2047! You will be shaping Bharat destiny by the time you reach 2047. It is your responsibility to neutralize all anti Bharat narratives and that is required to be done in a vigilant manner," he added. 

"IITs have played a pivotal role in India's Development story. IITs have been crucible in which the minds that have transformed India and the world were forged. Leaders of major organisations in India and across the globe proudly wear the badge of IIT," he added further. 

“Knowledge and education are the most impactful transformational mechanisms to bring about much-needed societal change. Inequities and equality are best assured when there is quality education,” Dhankhar said.

"Union Cabinet approved over 6000 crore rupees for National Quantum Mission!! This mission is a Quantum Jump for India to accelerate Quantum Technology lead economic growth !!," he tweeted.
