While delivering the 9th Convocational address at NIT, Puducherry virtually today, Shri Chandrasekhar said earlier India was seen as a dysfunctional democracy. “The Old India is now being replaced surely & systematically by a New India, being powered by the energy, the determination, the innovation and the creativity of Young Indians. The current times are most opportunity-rich times and young Indians can grab these opportunities to pursue their dreams.”
Speaking about the next decade being India’s Techade, the Minister said today, India has the most vibrant startup ecosystem with close to 85,000 registered startups and around 107 unicorns that have grown due to their hard work, passion, ability to innovate and not because of any famous surname or Godfather.
The Minister congratulated the graduating students and wished them all the best for their future endeavours.
