Students should dive deep into subjects and learn how to get to the core of the concepts involved in them, said Proffesor, Bhaskar Ramanurthi, Director, IIT Madras (IIT-M), on Tuesday.
Delivering the convocational address at the 36th annual convocation that was organised virtually by VIT here, Professor Ramamurthi, who was the chief guest for the function, said that students should dive deep into at least some of the subjects if not all during their formal education and learn how to get to the core of the concepts. “All of you who are graduating today are entering the workforce in an India that is poised at a very unique moment in its history. The next 30 years are going to be one of great transformation. This period is going to be like no other from the past, and therefore you will need to be alert to the unbelievable opportunities that are going to come your way,” Professor Ramamurthi said.
He pointed out that it would be challenging for the students who graduate to find a path that is aligned with the growth of the country, where one can feel that they are part of this enterprise involving the 1.4 billion people that is propelling the country forward after so many centuries. “The challenge will be in retaining that which is worthwhile from our poorer, but in some ways more fulfilling, past, such as our strong family bonds and cultural moorings, and our willingness to help and look after each other, even while we create materially wealthier lives for ourselves,” he added.
