Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal has asked Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) students to make scale, quality and job creation the focal point of all their ventures.

He also asked the IITians to provide innovative solutions for farmers, artisans & weavers, small retailers, etc & help realise the goals of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India for the World.

Union Minister interacting with students after addressing the Policy Conclave 2022 organised by IIT Kanpur said that technology can play a very big role in taking prosperity to the remotest corners of India. Technology, he said, can really help us democratize basic amenities, such as Healthcare through Telemedicine, Education through EdTech.

Demographic dividend gives huge opportunities

“Unless you have ambitious targets unless you dream big unless you have significantly large hopes, aspirations, desires, you can never achieve greatness. Our demographic dividend gives us huge opportunities, opens the doors to a very bright future for the country! And therefore we need a holistic vision which envisions growth in all sectors, makes it easier to do business, promotes innovation, research, development, modernity and yet also respects family values, our culture, makes it easier to live, that we call Ease of Living for every single citizen,” he said earlier during his address.

Goyal said that India’s tryst with destiny must not merely remain a wishful rendezvous but must transform into prosperity, progress & development. “And in that journey, IIT-Kanpur and all the IITs will be at the forefront, I have no doubt in that,” he said.

Goyal gave a Five Point Action Plan for IIT students to unleash India’s golden era:

In all your ventures, make Scale, Quality, & Job Creation the focal point.
Provide innovative solutions for farmers, artisans & weavers, small retailers, etc & help realise the goals of Aatmanirbhar Bharat & Make in India for the World.
Study digital platforms (e.g. Single Window, PM GatiShakti, ONDC) & give ideas to enhance facilities.
Help set the agenda/themes for India’s G20 presidency starting in Dec’22.
Make Seva & Samarpan your guiding philosophy & give back to the nation.
