If every engineer works with a vision, the country can grow by leaps and bounds, Vishnukant S. Chatpalli, Advisor, National Assessment and Accreditation Council, Bengaluru, said.
He was speaking at the 6th Graduation Day at Poojya Dooddappa Appa College of Engineering in Kalaburagi on Sunday. Prof. Chatpalli said Indian engineers have done wonders in the field of technology and have a major role to play in the development of the nation.
With one of the largest and youngest populations in the world, India needs to create millions of good quality jobs in the future to ensure decent living conditions for the vast majority. India scores well in terms of access to finance for business development. He said India has for the first time broken into the club of the 100 nations easiest to conduct business in the World Bank’s ‘Doing Business 2018: Reforming to Create jobs Report’ released recently. India jumped 30 places to the 100th rank among 190 countries.
The nation has seen transformational reforms in the past year with two tectonic changes including the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax(GST) and the demonetisation of high-value currencies.
Prof. Chatpalli, underlining the role of each individual in nation building, emphasized that success is not inherited but achieved by hard work and enterprise. He called on outgoing students to choose opportunities to excel in their careers.
