TECH SHOULD ENABLE INDIA TO ACHIEVE ITS VISION OF HOLISTIC REJUVENATION

“India has made unprecedented progress in various domains of technology, including, the information and communication technology, in the recent past. But we must measure technological progress from the contributions it makes towards creating a healthy, prosperous, and capable India, and transforming India as a leader in all spheres in the global arena,” said Thiru R.N. Ravi, Hon’ble Governor of Tamil Nadu.

He was delivering the Inaugural Address at Sangam 2021, the flagship annual convention of the IIT Madras Alumni Association (IITMAA), after launching it virtually. The Hon’ble Governor said that people in the tech sector are among India’s most precise resources and assets. They must think of ways to align their tech vision with the India vision. The Hon’ble Governor highlighted India’s recent achievements in sanitation, financial inclusion, indigenous production, and access to water, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Post-Independence, India had made great strides in many sectors, but India now has a clear vision of ‘One India’ (Ek Bharat). The vision refers not just to the territorial integrity of the country but the oneness that permeates people of all faiths, cultures, and languages,” he said and added that people must realize that India’s diversity was a cause for celebration, and not a cause of concern, as contrived and projected by the influences of over centuries of subjugation and colonisation.

Sangam 2021 will host fireside conversations and panel discussions, spread over four months till March 2022, under the theme of ‘Restoring Balance in STEM’. Sangam 2021 will be held largely online and will also comprise a few hybrid programs. About 15,000 participants are expected to take part in Sangam 2021.
