‘Bharat is not a geography, it is responsibility’: CDS General Subramani tells IIT Roorkee students
Subramani, the guest of honour at the ceremony, spoke about the rapidly changing global landscape and the challenges and opportunities it presents.
On Saturday, Chief of Defence Staff General NS Raja Subramani addressed the graduating students at IIT Roorkee's convocation, where 2,701 students were awarded degrees. The guest of honor spoke about the rapidly changing global landscape and the opportunities and challenges it presents for young engineers and technologists.
General Subramani used the acronym 'DHARA' to illustrate the changing world: Disruptive, Hyperconnectedness, Asymmetry, Realignment and Autonomy. He emphasized the need for graduates to constantly update their skills due to the rapid pace of technological change and the vulnerabilities created by increased interdependence between systems.
Bharat, he explained, is not merely a geography but a responsibility that generations have carried and will continue to carry as young people navigate this evolving world. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who attended as the chief guest, described the graduates as the "luckiest generation in a millennium," highlighting the unprecedented opportunities they face in an era of transformation and growth.
