Hyderabad: Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday gave a call to the engineers to come out with innovations and compete at the global level so as to make India proud and self-reliant.
Delivering the Chancellor’s address at the IX Convocation of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad (JNTU-H) in a virtual mode from Raj Bhavan, she said engineers have an important role in translating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Atma Nirbhar Bharat into a reality.
“You have so many opportunities to contribute to the country and fulfil your ambitions for innovation by participating in Make in India, Start-up India and Atma Nirbhar Bharat and other initiatives launched by the government,” she added.
Delivering the convocation address, DRDO chairman and Department of Defence R&D secretary Dr G Satheesh Reddy said India has done well over the past three decades in the development of critical defence systems. “We are now self-reliant in missiles and missile technologies, and are one of the very few nations in the world who possess such capability,” he said.
The JNTU-H has conferred Doctor of Philosophy (Honoris Causa) on Dr.Reddy during the convocation. The Governor also praised DGP M Mahender Reddy, who took his doctoral degree on the occasion.
A total of 53 Gold medals were presented to the meritorious students and 78,395 UG, PG and PhD degrees were awarded.
