President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday hailed IITs for their contribution to the story of India and for improving the country’s standing on the global stage.
“The story of the IITs is the story of independent India,” the President said at the closing ceremony of Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi.
“Your faculty and alumni have shown the world our brainpower. Some of those who studied here and in other IITs are now at the forefront of the digital revolution sweeping the world. Moreover, the impact of IITs has gone beyond science and technology. IITians are leaders in every walk of life – in education, industry, entrepreneurship, civil society, activism, journalism, literature and politics,” said Ms. Murmu.
