Students are the drivers of Viksit Bharat and their innovation and zeal can find solutions to the challenges of the world, said Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan while virtually inaugurating the grand finale of the Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2024 today.
He highlighted that the talent, vision, hard work, leadership and innovation of the youth of the country would pave the way for India to emerge as a 21st-century knowledge economy, a development model for emerging economies, as well as the growth engine of the world.
During his address at the event, Pradhan expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inspiring the vision of SIH, which, he said, had become a hotspot of innovation and creativity where students from across the country put their minds to find solutions to contemporary challenges.
