[00:00:00] Hello, welcome to DD News.
[00:00:04] Kumar Bhallotia, for joining With me, Gaurav Srivastava, you are watching
[00:00:05] us and for this detailed discussion. our special program 'Charcha Mein', from knowledge to innovation, a new flight
[00:00:08] much, and with this, of youth power. Yes, today, from space to semiconductors, from AI to
[00:00:12] quantum computing, India is rapidly expanding its capabilities in new
[00:00:15] areas. In such a situation, the youth power
[00:00:18] medals of knowledge, research, innovation, and self-reliance is going to be the biggest strength of developed India in 2047.
[00:00:22] We will discuss this important topic with special guests. Also, we will
[00:00:26] tell you how today's strong steps will make tomorrow
[00:00:30] golden. So, let's start our special
[00:00:34] program 'Charcha Mein' and let's tell you how today's resolve is building a better
[00:00:36] of the PM with the children
[00:00:51] future for tomorrow, because today's youth's
[00:00:55] resolve is going to be crucial for developed India
[00:00:59] tomorrow. Yes, with this thought,
[00:01:02] the 57th convocation ceremony was organized at IIT Delhi,
[00:01:05] where meritorious students were honored for their excellent
[00:01:09] academic achievements, and after leaving the campus,
[00:01:12] they started a new journey in their lives. This was not just an opportunity
[00:01:16] to receive a degree, but also a chance to remember
[00:01:20] the contributions of those teachers, mentors, and support staff who provided
[00:01:24] a strong foundation for the students' entire academic journey. Institutions
[00:01:28] like IIT not only impart theoretical knowledge to the youth, but also
[00:01:32] develop their ability to deal with the most difficult problems, ask questions,
[00:01:35] find new solutions, and make a way through challenges.
[00:01:39] This thought is also the need of today's India, because the challenges of the future
[00:01:43] are new, and for their solutions, new thinking,
[00:01:47] the habit of continuous learning, and maintaining one's curiosity are essential.
[00:01:51] The role of youth in the resolve to make India a developed nation by 2047
[00:01:54] is extremely important because the strong foundation of self-reliant
[00:01:58] India and its economic capacity are also based on scientific and
[00:02:01] technical capabilities. Today, from space,
[00:02:05] semiconductor, and drone technology to artificial intelligence,
[00:02:09] new opportunities are being created for the youth in emerging areas like data centers and quantum
[00:02:12] computing. The growing startup and innovation ecosystem
[00:02:16] in the country is also showing the youth a path to move beyond
[00:02:20] being job seekers and become creators of new opportunities
[00:02:23] and new technologies. In this direction, emphasis is being laid on connecting
[00:02:27] research and innovation with the country's development journey, and the target
[00:02:31] of funding up to one lakh crore rupees for research is a big step
[00:02:34] towards giving new momentum to the country's scientific and technical
[00:02:38] ecosystem.
[00:02:40] for the coming time Initiatives like 'One Nation One Subscription' are an attempt to make access
[00:02:43] to important research institutions
[00:02:46] With Nishant Saurabh, Bureau Report around the world easier for students and researchers, while technologies like AI and
[00:02:50] advanced computing can give new strength to India's research capabilities.
[00:02:54] The youth have also been given the message that success
[00:02:58] does not just mean getting ahead of others, but also trying to become
[00:03:02] better than oneself every day. Along with this, mental and
[00:03:05] physical health has also been called an important part of success,
[00:03:10] with all because the foundation of a strong and developed India
[00:03:13] is clearly not only technically capable youth
[00:03:17] for its construction, but it is continuously seen.
[00:03:19] So,
[00:03:24] in such a situation, it is clear that the youth will be seen
[00:03:28] it is also a day to prepare writing a new story of developed India with knowledge, research, and innovation,
[00:03:31] and for this, a balanced and responsible youth power is also necessary.
[00:03:35] The youth passing out from IIT
[00:03:38] hard, struggled to reach Delhi are not just starting their future, but are also moving forward
[00:03:41] with the responsibility of shaping India's future
[00:03:44] through knowledge, research, innovation, and their talent, and this youth energy,
[00:03:48] combined with the government's initiatives to promote research and innovation,
[00:03:52] can become the biggest strength in writing a new story
[00:03:56] of developed India. So,
[00:04:02] in such a situation, at the IIT Delhi convocation
[00:04:04] In such a situation, how big ceremony, the Prime Minister encouraged the youth to adopt technology and
[00:04:08] find solutions to challenges, and he said that challenges
[00:04:11] bring opportunities and solutions together. Victory belongs
[00:04:14] to those who learn. Watch this
[00:04:17] report.
[00:04:19] You must be thinking that it was just yesterday
[00:04:23] that the orientation happened,
[00:04:27] and now it's time for the convocation. Your memories
[00:04:31] with each hostel, Kumaon,
[00:04:34] Ara,
[00:04:36] Kara.
[00:04:39] It's not just about studies, it could also
[00:04:42] be that the poha of Jira
[00:04:46] Sarai might be calling some people
[00:04:47] today.
[00:04:52] It's time now.
[00:04:55] You might be missing the parathas of Satpura Mess.
[00:04:58] And if you go to Vinti, remember
[00:05:04] for big MNCs, multinational me too.
[00:05:07] It was an opportunity for IIT Delhi's
[00:05:09] 57th peaceful ceremony. Coincidentally,
[00:05:12] all the selected students who received medals from the Prime Minister
[00:05:16] were boys. Seeing the absence of girls in the top ranks,
[00:05:20] the Prime Minister encouraged the female students in his
[00:05:24] own style. Many students
[00:05:27] also received
[00:05:31] for their achievements. I congratulate
[00:05:34] all of you for this. But if there are one or two daughters,
[00:05:38] don't
[00:06:12] be scared of it. Divide it into small
[00:06:16] parts. You have seen it yourself
[00:06:20] how a problem in the lab
[00:06:22] used to take one and a half
[00:06:25] days to solve. It would take
[00:06:28] hours or days to find a solution
[00:06:31] in simulation. But
[00:06:33] then
[00:06:36] you
[00:06:39] also solved the problem and
[00:06:43] came up with something new. Similarly, in
[00:06:47] life too,
[00:06:49] there will be difficulties,
[00:06:52] but
[00:06:55] the nature of difficulties is that they do not
[00:06:58] come alone. When difficulty comes,
[00:07:02] it also brings opportunities with it.
[00:07:06] The Prime Minister dedicated the AI-powered
[00:07:08] supercomputing facility Param Pragya, established
[00:07:12] at IIT Delhi's Sonepat campus, to the nation.
[00:07:16] He said that the government is promoting
[00:07:19] the research sector in the country.
[00:07:23] The National Research Foundation has also been established
[00:07:26] so that science and research in the country
[00:07:29] can get new strength.
[00:07:32] A funding arrangement of up to one lakh crore rupees
[00:07:36] is being made in the research sector. The Prime Minister
[00:07:39] expressed satisfaction over the production and packaging
[00:07:43] units of semiconductors in the country and the growing
[00:07:47] number of startups in India. He said that the level
[00:07:50] of self-reliance in India is now such that everything
[00:07:54] from chips to ships is being manufactured in the country.
[00:07:59] DD News.
[00:08:01] So, the chain
[00:08:04] of self-reliant India and the resolve of developed India
[00:08:07] are taking a very decisive turn today.
[00:08:11] How special is today, let's discuss this topic. Very
[00:08:15] special guests are joining us. Let me tell you that Professor Arvind Nema
[00:08:19] ji is joining us, who is the Deputy Director of Operations at IIT Delhi. You are very
[00:08:23] welcome, and along with him, Sudhir Kumar Bhallotia is also joining
[00:08:26] us, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, gold medalist at IIT Delhi. You are also
[00:08:30] welcome. First of all, Professor Arvind, I would like to start
[00:08:33] with you. How do you see today when there is a convocation ceremony,
[00:08:37] there are many dreams, and
[00:08:40] for tomorrow to define those dreams. In such a situation, the coming
[00:08:44] time, because of the chain of developed India, we are seeing that the efforts
[00:08:48] to take a resolution to fruition will be seen moving forward. How big
[00:08:52] an important step do you consider it, and how decisive will the coming
[00:08:56] turn be? What would you say about today and that future
[00:09:00] which is going to be realized? Hello,
[00:09:03] today was unprecedented.
[00:09:05] Prime Minister Modi ji came to IIT
[00:09:09] Delhi and addressed the young
[00:09:12] students who had completed their graduation.
[00:09:16] He shared many things from his vast
[00:09:19] experience, which will be very useful for our
[00:09:22] students in their future lives. He inspired
[00:09:26] the children that they should not be afraid
[00:09:29] of problems, they should find solutions
[00:09:33] to problems and he encouraged them
[00:09:37] to do big things in life, and preparing
[00:09:41] them, he said,
[00:09:43] that our job is to find solutions to problems, our job is to take
[00:09:47] the country forward, and he said that the country
[00:09:50] and he himself personally expects a lot from the children
[00:09:54] that they will play an important role in making India developed.
[00:09:56] Absolutely, and apart from this, Prime Minister
[00:10:00] Narendra Modi has said many things here. Sudhir is also with us.
[00:10:04] Sudhir, how do you see how bright the coming
[00:10:08] tomorrow is going to be? How big a responsibility do you consider
[00:10:11] it on those students, because the goal of developed
[00:10:15] India 2047 has to be realized and
[00:10:18] the resolution has to be brought to fruition. Yes, absolutely. We have seen
[00:10:22] that many IIT graduates are in good
[00:10:25] positions and their own startups
[00:10:29] have also grown to an international level.
[00:10:33] So, we connect all these things with developed
[00:10:36] India, and we are seeing that new facilities such as
[00:10:40] industrial corridors or supercomputers
[00:10:44] and in the field of AI, we are making a lot of progress,
[00:10:48] which is very important for developed India 2027. Absolutely,
[00:10:51] in such a situation, Professor Arvind, as we are seeing
[00:10:55] that IIT Delhi is playing all these roles.
[00:10:58] When we talk about artificial intelligence, that is, the new era,
[00:11:02] we talk about semiconductors, or apart from this, we talk about
[00:11:05] other innovations. What do you think, how big
[00:11:09] an opportunity is this for those students who are seen moving
[00:11:13] forward, and for the coming time, because it is an era of high-tech,
[00:11:17] so how will the new picture of new India be seen becoming
[00:11:21] more high-tech? If we look at it in that perspective, what do you think, how much will this picture change?
[00:11:56] You have to come up with new things so that you always
[00:11:59] stay ahead of those challenges. Yes, and in the field of technology,
[00:12:03] as he said, changes are happening very rapidly,
[00:12:06] and in the future, changes will happen very rapidly,
[00:12:10] but we have to move forward by finding all its
[00:12:12] solutions through innovation and
[00:12:16] research. He inspired them to do a lot of work for the country. Certainly,
[00:12:20] these are all very important things said by the Prime Minister,
[00:12:23] and to realize a dream that was seen, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
[00:12:27] has clearly shown a new direction from here. Now, in the coming
[00:12:31] time, it will be seen how
[00:13:46] Clearly, we are discussing how the youth power will bring
[00:13:49] the coming resolution to fruition. Very special guests are with us.
[00:13:53] Let's directly turn to Sudhir. Sudhir, as you yourself are a
[00:13:57] gold medalist, you must have faced millions
[00:14:00] of challenges, you must have worked
[00:14:03] here, and in such a situation, what kind of complex problems
[00:14:07] do students face when they move forward
[00:14:11] with their degrees and search for their
[00:14:14] new path? What kind of challenges do they encounter, and
[00:14:18] then how do they implement what they have learned
[00:14:22] in their studies? Does the strong picture of new India
[00:14:26] emerge from here, Sudhir?
[00:14:29] Yes, absolutely. We can see that IITs and
[00:14:32] NITs have grown a lot. The number of students has also increased,
[00:14:36] and along with that, many new institutions have also been opened.
[00:14:39] IITs and AIIMS, so we can see
[00:14:43] that the people coming out from here have technical
[00:14:46] growth along with their brains, but along with that, we can see that
[00:14:49] they come out from there and go to different sectors
[00:14:53] and face their own challenges. So, many
[00:14:57] IIT students, after coming out from here, go into their own startups,
[00:15:01] where they have to work day and night and then
[00:15:04] they have to use their own brains to solve the unique problems
[00:15:08] there, which no one has worked on till today. So, that is a very big
[00:15:12] challenge in itself, and along with that, some people
[00:15:16] go for competitive exams to serve the country.
[00:15:20] Some people prepare for IAS,
[00:15:23] and many people are such who work
[00:15:29] companies, and realize the country's dream from there.
[00:15:32] Absolutely, this is certainly seen, Sudhir, Professor
[00:15:36] Arvind, because... IIT Delhi has a big role, the Prime Minister
[00:15:40] also said many important things today. How do you think this
[00:15:43] message given by the PM and the advice he clearly
[00:15:47] gave to the students will play a very
[00:15:51] important role, because when their morale increases, they
[00:15:55] will make the picture of the coming time in the country
[00:15:58] even more prominent, and we have seen many such examples
[00:16:02] before when the Prime Minister directly interacts with the students.
[00:16:06] So, how will this convocation ceremony bring a big turning point in their lives?
[00:16:09] Yes, you are absolutely right. The personal touch
[00:16:14] and the personal connect was very important.
[00:16:17] All the children felt it, all the professors felt
[00:16:21] that our country's Prime Minister, Honorable
[00:16:24] Prime Minister ji, was directly speaking his heart to the children,
[00:16:28] and he talked about the things they faced in the hostel,
[00:16:32] how they cleared exams, and how to break
[00:16:35] big problems into small problems
[00:16:39] and how to solve them in an integrated
[00:16:41] way and find solutions for them.
[00:16:45] So, his speech was quite motivating. Absolutely, these were all the things,
[00:16:49] Professor Arvind, but we would also like to know some more from you
[00:16:53] that the current situation we are seeing
[00:16:56] because we are seeing that all the high-tech things,
[00:17:00] the new innovations, the new technologies are being developed
[00:17:03] at IIT Delhi. The role of students is seen taking a
[00:17:07] turn. So, what do you think, in terms of science and technology
[00:17:11] and also the different parameters set here,
[00:17:15] how much will their career change, how bright
[00:17:19] will it look, and what future do you see for those students
[00:17:22] who are participating in such innovations?
[00:17:24] See, nowadays, children are more interested in becoming
[00:17:28] job creators rather than just taking jobs,
[00:17:32] and finding solutions
[00:17:35] to new problems.
[00:18:07] He will win. It's not that you just
[00:18:10] studied for four years, got a B.Tech, and then you got all the knowledge.
[00:18:14] You have to keep learning throughout your life, keep solving challenges,
[00:18:18] and keep creating opportunities. Absolutely, Sudhir, what would you say,
[00:18:22] because youth power is clearly visible, and these are the students
[00:18:25] who will make the future even brighter in the coming
[00:18:29] time. How do you think this whole event
[00:18:33] we were seeing and the new things the Prime Minister said,
[00:18:37] the important things he said, and the new guidance he gave,
[00:18:41] how much light will it bring into the lives of these students?
[00:18:45] Yes, absolutely. We have seen that in the last few years,
[00:18:48] especially in the last decade, new sectors like supercomputing
[00:18:52] had no growth in India, and many developed
[00:18:56] countries had good growth, but in the last decade, we are seeing
[00:19:00] that Indian startups have become better compared
[00:19:03] to foreign startups, and in the space sector,
[00:19:07] there are more startups from India
[00:19:10] than the number there. Almost 100
[00:19:13] startups from IITs alone are working in the space
[00:19:17] sector, so this new type of technology, which is advanced
[00:19:21] technology, and the growth of the country is very important,
[00:19:24] Professor Arvind, because the question is that as we are
[00:19:28] seeing the current situation, we are constantly seeing that
[00:19:31] India's flag is rising globally,
[00:19:35] and in such a situation, the role of IIT Delhi is also taking
[00:19:38] a very decisive turn.
[00:19:42] an opportunity is this for those students that when they get
[00:19:46] such a big market set that ever since PM Modi
[00:19:49] came to power, he has written many new stories of development
[00:19:52] and done a lot of infrastructure development and promoted
[00:19:56] technical facilities. So, in such a situation, what do you think,
[00:20:00] how big is this sector now for them where they will directly
[00:20:03] focus and make their lives even better?
[00:20:08] See, it's a very big thing that Modi ji said that we should only
[00:20:12] do research, so we see research in many ways. One is fundamental
[00:20:16] research that we do in labs. He emphasized a lot
[00:20:19] that fundamental research is fine, but we
[00:20:23] have to convert it into translational
[00:20:26] research so that we can use those technologies and solve
[00:20:30] people's problems. He also gave an example
[00:20:33] of Bharat's program in Europe, in South France,
[00:20:37] and from there too, Indian technologies, especially
[00:20:41] IIT's technologies, got a lot of boost, so he personally
[00:20:44] involved himself
[00:20:46] and paved the way, the vision for the future
[00:20:50] for the youth. In such a situation, what are the big innovations
[00:20:53] currently happening at IIT Delhi? We are seeing that whether it is artificial
[00:20:57] intelligence, or semiconductors,
[00:21:00] apart from this, when we talk about quantum technology,
[00:21:04] IIT Delhi also has a big contribution in that direction.
[00:21:07] What do you think about all these things, how big is this sector
[00:21:11] an opportunity for those students who now want to move forward in this core?
[00:21:14] See, the message now is this, and we, as
[00:21:18] teachers here, also believe
[00:21:50] in the country that the PM has been giving, and in the coming time, we will see how decisive
[00:22:07] Just think, you have something
[00:22:10] that can change your world. Do you know
[00:22:14] what? Your own gold. What can gold not
[00:22:17] do? Gold can get you your dream home. It can secure
[00:22:21] your children's future. Gold can fulfill all your wishes. So,
[00:22:24] take a gold loan from India's biggest gold loan NBFC, Muthoot
[00:22:28] Finance, and then see what gold cannot do. Muthoot Finance,
[00:22:31] where trust is a tradition. Call
[00:22:34] 1800313121.
[00:22:36] My
[00:22:39] choice. My
[00:22:41] choice.
[00:22:44] My choice. My
[00:22:46] choice. Our choice. Welcome back
[00:22:59] everyone after the break. In the discussion, we are discussing today's important topic
[00:23:03] of how the coming time is giving a more decisive
[00:23:06] turn and strength to youth power. So, we are discussing
[00:23:10] what special happened in the convocation ceremony, and Sudhir is continuously
[00:23:14] with us. Sudhir, what would you say about youth power, because we are seeing
[00:23:18] that a very big responsibility rests on their shoulders
[00:23:22] for the coming time, for 2047, and how these students
[00:23:25] will now work as a strong pillar
[00:23:30] on the path shown by the government?
[00:23:33] Yes,
[00:23:36] as our Honorable Prime Minister ji also said in his speech,
[00:23:39] and our belief is that today's generation does not just want
[00:23:43] to solve the problems that are visible from the outside.
[00:23:46] They want to solve the problems that previous generations
[00:23:50] have ignored. Things that we can easily
[00:23:53] afford, but we couldn't give much importance
[00:23:57] to those generations. So, today's generation has technology
[00:24:01] and a vision for developed 2047,
[00:24:04] and there is very good growth. Sudhir,
[00:24:08] one more question related to this is that ever since we are seeing
[00:24:11] that the government has launched various schemes,
[00:24:15] how much benefit has been received by the students
[00:24:18] or the youth at the ground level to empower them? What would you say?
[00:24:22] What does your experience say? Yes, absolutely.
[00:24:24] I have seen that in our IIT, the PMRF
[00:24:28] fellowship, the Prime Minister Research
[00:24:30] Fellowship, is given when a student
[00:24:34] performs extraordinarily and those who are very good
[00:24:37] in research. So, those people directly connect their research

[00:25:06] has been a very important day for the resolve of 2047.
[00:25:10] See, IIT Delhi is a complete
[00:25:14] university of technology. We have 680
[00:25:17] faculty. These are certainly all big
[00:25:50] achievements that IIT Delhi has continuously achieved. In the coming
[00:25:53] time, more can be expected. These meritorious students will be seen
[00:25:57] building a better future in the coming time. Thank
