Why it matters
It reflects the ongoing national push to align higher education with domestic industrial growth and self-reliance in technology.
M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) welcomed a new batch of first year engineering students in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
Addressing the new batch, scientist and Padma Shri awardee, Dr. Shubha V Iyengar said: “Everyone should realise that even the impossible can be achieved through hard work and dedication in life and should take steps accordingly. For instance, India imported most materials and equipments in the aviation sector from other countries. After ‘Make in India’ was launched in 2014, the import rate has reduced and we are manufacturing machines and developing apps required in this sector.”
She noted that students must take inspiration from such campaigns like Make in India and others.
