I congratulate all our student organizers for their wonderful efforts in making Anviksha 2.0 a success.”

You are fortunate to have chosen the profession of creators, as innovation and disruptive thinking will shape the future. Along with technical knowledge, developing soft skills like communication, presentation, and teamwork is equally vital. As India moves towards becoming a global economic leader, it is you, the youth, who will drive this progress with confidence and pride.”

His constant push for indigenous and future-ready innovations reminds us that the next generation must fill this gap.
