NIT-Warangal graduates urged to use engineering for social good

Engineers must use their technical knowledge to address problems confronting society, particularly those affecting the economically disadvantaged, while building their careers on character, integrity and purpose, Texas Instruments India Managing Director Santhosh Kumar said at the 24th convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, on Saturday.

“Engineering should not be confined to technology and innovation but should contribute to improving the lives of people at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid,” he added.

Degrees were conferred on 930 undergraduate graduands and 22 exit-degree recipients on the first day of the two-day convocation. Postgraduate and Ph.D. degrees will be awarded on Sunday.
