This is India’s moment, and we must make the best of it, said Governor R.N. Ravi at the distribution of awards to researchers at the first All India Research Scholars Summit-2024 on Thursday.
The summit, first of its kind, was hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM). Mr. Ravi urged researchers to be audacious and dream big. The target of Atmanirbhar and Vikasit Bharat@2047 is achievable. The need is to keep raising the bar, he said, adding that the mantra is research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
He lauded the institute for getting 366 patents in a year, and urged the institution to make it at least two patents a day. IITM could set up an Institute of Advanced Study like the one by Abraham Flexner at Princeton University in the early 20th century, he said.
