Congratulating IIT Hyderabad on occasion, the Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan said, “In the 21st century, technology is available to ease our job, and NEP 2020 has given us the liberty to take advance of local language with available technology. He stressed that India is going to play a leading role in the fourth industrial revolution and IIT Hyderabad will play a major role in building the brand India globally and in carving out a better and prosperous future, especially during the AmritKaal. We have to fulfil Prime Minister’s vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat, he added.”
The Minister further said that “India cannot be just a consuming nation. We have to innovate and establish our own models for achieving self-sufficiency as well as for furthering global welfare. He urged IIT Hyderabad must redefine its role to fulfil societal needs and also provide affordable global solutions.
The Minister stated that NEP 2020 is a roadmap to situate India among the top in the new emerging world order. He said that skilling is a lifelong process and NEP 2020 emphasizes on integrating skill development into education systems. He suggested IIT Hyderabad and experts from the industry to establish a world-class skill development centre at IITH for harnessing IR 4.0 & 21st century job markets. He expressed his confidence that IITH with its thrust on research and innovation will be a role model for emerging and global economies. The Minister thanked Mr BVR Mohan Reddy from Cyient & Mr Anil from Greenko for taking responsibility and donating generously for strengthening research activities at IITH and also for placing the institute at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship.”
With sheer joy, Dr BVR Mohan Reddy, Founder, Chairman and Board member, Cyient and Chairman, Board of Governors, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Roorkee, said, “Today is a momentous day for IITH as we make beginning to four more new initiatives - MOU with Greenko for setting up a GSSST, inaugurating our brand new, TIP and RCC and ground breaking for the school of innovation and entrepreneurship (SCIENT). All four initiates will allow IITH to scale greater heights in innovation, research, and development, and in addressing the critical themes with tremendous social impact – climate change and entrepreneurship. For a healthy, liveable planet, we need to phase out coal and accelerate the transition to renewable energies. It is indeed very fortunate that Greenko decided on IITH to set up a School for Sustainable Science and Technology to further research initiatives in greenhouse gas mitigation, climate risk management, conservation and restoration of habitats, and circular economy. The setting up of SCIENT in IITH will go a long way in furthering technology-led innovation and entrepreneurship. This initiative aims to nurture and develop world-class innovation and entrepreneurial talent from India from IITH Campus. I like to thank the Hon’ble Minister for implementing NEP 2020 with rigor and passion”.
Speaking on occasion, Mr Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder, CEO & MD, Greenko Group, said, “Govt. of India under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi has positioned India as a leader on the global stage in the Climate Change mitigation and energy transition goals of the world and fulfilment of commitment under the Paris Climate Accords. Greenko is honored to partner with IITH, a reputed institute, and focus on reconfiguring existing global energy transition technologies to improve efficiencies, economics, and employment in emerging economies. GSSST aims to be the knowledge and human resource powerhouse for driving decarbonization & sustainable development and pursue twinning arrangements with globally reputed research and educational institutes.”
Cheering with IITH on occasion, Mr SAITO Mitsunori, Chief Representative, JICA, said, “I firmly believe IITH is a standing example of a special collaboration between India and Japan. Since the beginning, IITH has been and remains to be a crucial technological centre for innovation in this country.
