Now the idea is changing with the development of technology: Deputy Chairman
The chief guest of the ceremony, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh addressed the graduate students. He said that Navnirman will take place in the Amrit Kaal of the country. The country is moving towards the target of 2037. Changes are now visible. Youth are the creators of the future, who are now creating job opportunities instead of running after jobs. One has to prepare for how to live life in the changing environment, how to take steps to face the challenges and how to find a way out of the challenges. Earlier, where a particular idea used to develop new technology, now ideas are changing with the development of technology. Changes in technology create instability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in the mind. In such a situation, there is a need to consider whether humans will handle technology or technology will handle humans. For proper use of technology, human values have to be taken along with it. Life can be changed by value and policy based life. If life is not based on values, then we will not be able to move forward.

Create possibilities in your country: Praveen Shankar
Praveen Shankar Pandeya, Chairman, Board of Governors, IIM Ranchi, said that after student life, professional life has started. India’s growth rate is 3 percent, the main reason for this is that young changemakers from here go abroad after getting degrees and skills. are fleeing. Due to this, the economy of other countries is getting strengthened. Whereas, the students have to decide that the possibilities in their own country will give more successful results, as well as create definite opportunities for others. Startup India is a better initiative in this direction. Set goals to be successful in life. For this, seven standards of sustainable development can be followed. To become successful, sensitivity towards the society is necessary.
