EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT MERELY CENTERS FOR PROVIDING EDUCATION AND DEGREES, BUT THEY ARE ALSO MAJOR CENTERS OF RESEARCH AND ‘INTELLECTUAL LABORATORIES’ OF THE NATION: PRESIDENT DROUPADI MURMU
New Delhi (thestates.news)| The President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu, graced the convocation ceremony of NIT Jamshedpur at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand today (December 29, 2025).
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that the pace of technological change in the present era is perhaps unprecedented. While these changes are creating new opportunities, they are also giving rise to new challenges. Technological advancements are bringing about transformations in education, agriculture, healthcare, communication, and energy production. However, the misuse of modern technologies is leading to an increase in cybercrime and environmental damage from e-waste. Key stakeholders like NIT Jamshedpur are expected to participate in controlling and mitigating the negative impacts of modern technologies on the general public and society. They should not only find solutions but also collaborate with other institutions and industries to transform these solutions into sustainable and lasting ones. (S-PIB)
