Udupi,(Karnataka) :<\/strong> Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh has called upon the youth to innovate, develop new technologies and set up companies, research establishments & start-ups in the country to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of a strong and self-reliant \u2018New India\u2019. Addressing the convocation ceremony of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in Udupi, Karnataka on November 18, 2022, Shri Rajnath Singh stated that the world is acknowledging the power of the country\u2019s young ignited minds, with major companies such as Google, Microsoft, Adobe and IBM hiring Indians at respectable positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Indians can help major firms grow across the globe, why can\u2019t we set up top companies here?\u201d the Raksha Mantri asked around 5,000 students in attendance, urging them to introspect and bring a transformative change in the country. He credited the growing prowess of the Indian start-up ecosystem to the capabilities, talents and ignited minds of the youth. \u201cEarlier, there was no start-up ecosystem in the country. Before 2014, there were only around 400-500 start-ups. Today, the number has crossed 70,000. Of these, over 100 have become unicorns,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Shri\u00a0 Singh exhorted the students to focus on gaining wisdom more than just acquiring knowledge from books. \u201cObtaining knowledge from books isn\u2019t enough. Wisdom ensures optimum use of that knowledge, which is crucial to take the country to greater heights. It frees from limitations such as incapacity, poverty, unemployment and backwardness. It widens the scope of thinking and sensibilities. It helps a person rise above selfish interests and work for social, national and global welfare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Raksha Mantri also urged the students to get acquainted with the rich cultural traditions of the country and strive to restore its glorious past. \u201cIndia was a pioneer in many fields such as science, economics, history, political science and public administration. It slowly lost its glory due to foreign invasions. We must restore our past glory, for which economic progress is central,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Describing the present era as knowledge-intensive and constantly-evolving, Shri Rajnath Singh called for upgrading the quality and quantity of human capital, pivotal for the development of a country. Technological capabilities and innovative flair of the citizens is the most decisive factor in taking a nation forward, he said, stressing that the Government is providing proper educational and employment opportunities to the youth.<\/p>\n

On the National Education Policy 2020, the Raksha Mantri stated that the objective is to shape the young generation as global citizens through traditional and modern knowledge. \u201cYouth is our most valuable asset and engine of growth. Our youth army will play an important role in achieving the target of $5 trillion economy by 2025. According to a report by US banking group Morgan Stanley, India is set to become the world\u2019s third-largest economy in the next 5-6 years. This emerging power of India has been termed as \u2018once-in-a-generation shift\u2019. This is just the beginning. I am confident that India will become the largest economy by 2047,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Shedding more light on India\u2019s transformed global image under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh stated that New Delhi is now listened to with attention and seriousness on international platforms. \u201cIndia has led the world on issues like terrorism and has been successful in garnering support to root out the menace. The countries, which use terrorism as a tool, are now well aware of India\u2019s capabilities. India does not provoke any country, nor does it spare anyone who tries to harm its unity and integrity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Raksha Mantri lauded Manipal Group of Educational Institutions for their contribution to education and research. He congratulated the graduating students, encouraging them to move forward despite hurdles to create a better future. He extended special congratulations to the girl students, exuding confidence that they will be the pillars of a strong and prosperous \u2018New India\u2019.<\/p>\n

Pro-Chancellor, MAHE Dr Hebri Subhaskrishna Ballal, Vice-Chancellor, MAHE Lt Gen (Dr) MD Venkatesh (Retd) and Vice-Chancellor, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik Lt Gen (Dr) Madhuri Kanitkar (Retd) were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.<\/p>\n
