In our country we have immense talent. All that is required is to guide and bring out the best of it through quality and need-based education. This I have planned through the Future. Thus the paramount importance is to create international bridges by blending the advanced knowledge and modern technological tools of the West with the Indian traditional values culture and heritage of the East. The word millennium has begun to lose its shine. To me its just a time frame. Recognizing and managing shifting paradigms albeit with the help of the enormous leaps of technology is the need of the hour. In my humble opinion there are very few gospel truths in the field of engineering. Theories that snugly fit into one framework today become obsolete the day after. Prove or perish that is the call of the day. Meeting and measuring up to the emerging challenges is the prime function of today’s engineers. The secret is to have a global perspective while at the same time be keenly perceptive about local conditions. Needless to mention today’s engineers must be comfortable with the latest technology and be sensitive to the importance of ethical and human values.
