Text of PM’s address at Vaishwik Bhartiya Vaigyanik (VAIBHAV) Summit 2020

Namaskar!

Greetings and gratitude to you all, for joining this conversation. This forum has got together distinguished talent, both Pravasi and Indian. Vaishwik Bhartiya Vaigyanik (VAIBHAV) Summit 2020 celebrates science and innovation from India and the world. I would call it a true Sangam, or confluence of great minds. Through this gathering, we seek to form a long-lasting association for empowering India and our planet . 

Friends,

I would like to thank the scientists who offered their comments, suggestions and ideas today. You have brilliantly covered many subjects in your interventions. Most of you highlighted the importance of greater collaboration  between Indian academic and research ecosystem with their foreign counterparts. Indeed, that is the fundamental aim of this Summit. You correctly point towards the need of driving scientific research, towards the needs of society. You also made some good suggestions, for improving the research ecosystem in India. I would like to thank all of you, for your views. Listening to your words, I could see that this Vaibhav Summit is going to be a rich and productive exchange.

Friends,

Science has remained at the core of the progress of human-kind. When we look back, at the centuries of human existence, how do we divide the time periods? Stone age, Bronze age, Iron age, Industrial age, Space age and Digital age. These are some of the terms used. Clearly, each phase has been shaped by some significant technological advance. Changes in technology have brought changes in our life-styles. It also increased scientific curiosity.

Friends,

The Government of India has taken numerous measures to boost science, research and innovation. Science is at the core of our efforts towards socio-economic change. We broke inertia in the system. The long break in vaccine  introduction was broken. In 2014, four new vaccines were introduced into our immunisation programme. This included an indigenously developed Rota-virus vaccine. We encourage indigenous vaccine production. Recently, we also gave market authorisation for an indigenously developed Pneumococcal vaccine. These vaccination programmes and our POSHAN mission take the health and nutrition of our children to the level of importance it deserves. Our vaccine developers are active and globally competitive during this pandemic. We understand that time is of the essence. 

We have launched an ambitious  mission to remove TB in India by 2025. This is five years before the global target.

Friends,

There are other on-going efforts as well. We have launched major missions on supercomputing and on cyber-physical systems. These have expanded on fundamental research and application in areas such as: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Sensors and Big Data Analytics. This will provide a great boost to Indian manufacturing. It will help create skilled young human resource. The start-up sector will prosper. 25 Technology Innovation Hubs have already been launched under the mission.

Friends,

We want top class scientific research to help our farmers. Our agricultural research scientists have worked hard to ramp  up our production of pulses. Today we import only a very small fraction of our pulses. Our food-grain production has hit a record high.

Friends,

Recently, India got a National Education Policy. After over three decades, India has such a policy. The making of this policy involved wide-spread consultations for several months. This National Education Policy, राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा नीति, aims to boost  curiosity  towards sciences. It gives much needed boost to research and innovation. I am particularly optimistic  about the focus on multidisciplinary  studies. The open and broad based academic environment will nurture young talent.

Today, India is also a major contributor and partner in various scientific research and development efforts at the global level. Some of these are: Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), approved in February 2016; European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where India has been an associate member since January 2017; and, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (I-TER). For this supporting research is being carried out in my home state Gujarat at the Institute of Plasma Research.

Friends,

The need of the hour is to ensure  more youngsters develop interest in science. For that, we must get well-versed  with: the science of history and the history of science. Over the last century, leading historical questions have been solved with the help of science. Scientific methods are now used in determining  dates and helping in research.

We also need to amplify  the rich history of Indian science. Sadly, for long, many youngsters have been fed  the lie  that everything before modernity was superstition and dark ages. Today is the age of computers, programming, mobiles and applications. But even there, what is at the base  of all computing? It is binary  code 1 and 0.

Friends,

When one speaks of zero, how can one not speak of India? Zero made much of mathematics, and commerce, accessible  to all. Our youth must know about: Baudhayana, Bhaskara, Varahmihira, Nagarjuna, Sushruta and many others, like Satyendra Nath Bose and Sir CV Raman in the modern era. The list is long!

Friends,

Inspired by our glorious past and powered by our achievements in the present, we are looking ahead with great hope. We are aiming to build a secure and prosperous future for the coming generations. India’s clarion  call of an Aatmnirbhar Bharat, a self-reliant  India, includes a vision of global welfare. In order to realise  this dream, I invite you all and seek  your support. Just recently India introduced pioneering space reforms. These reforms provide opportunities for both industry and academia .You are all aware of India’s vibrant  start-up ecosystem. These advances would never be complete without the ground work done by scientists, innovators and academics. Our start up sector would gain from your mentorship . 

Friends,

The Indian diaspora  are excellent ambassadors of India at the world stage. Wherever they have gone, they have taken with them the ethos  of India. They have also embraced the cultures of their new homes. The Indian diaspora  has been successful in many fields. Academics is one shining  example. Most of the top global universities, and many of the top technological corporations in the world, have benefited  greatly from the presence of Indian talent.

Through VAIBHAV, we present to you a great opportunity. An opportunity to connect and contribute. Your efforts will help India and the world. Afterall, when India prospers, the world also takes a leap  ahead. These exchanges will certainly be useful. Your efforts will help create an ideal research ecosystem. It will merge tradition with modernity. It will make India provide home-grown solutions to the challenges we face. It will create prosperity  for others. It will help India create disruptive  technologies.

Friends,

We are meeting on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. I am reminded  of something that Gandhi Ji had said almost 100 years ago, in 1925, while speaking at the Maharaja College, Thiruvananthapuram. He wanted the fruits  of scientific progress to reach rural India, where most of our people live . Bapu also believed in broad-basing science. In 1929, he tried something unique. He tried crowd-sourcing . He sought  ways to design a light-weight  spinning wheel. His care for the villages, the youth, the poor, and his vision to integrate the larger public with science, inspire us. Today, we remember another proud son of India on his Jayanti. Our former PM Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji. We remember his humility, simplicity and great leadership.

Friends,

I wish you all the best for your discussions, and assure  you that we will work to make VAIBHAV, and its outcomes, a grand success. Before ending, I advise all of you to take full care of your health, to take all precautions, and to remain safe.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Topics that Schools Should Include


People’s eyes are often clouded with judgement. They perceive everything with the same mindset, often not taking consideration of the personal experiences of others. The variation in between people, be it twins or strangers from opposite parts of the world, is astounding. We fail to realise the differences among people. This diversity should be taught in school and colleges. The perception of the world and people should be an important part of the curriculum. Let’s talk about a few differences among people: 

Patient and full of wisdom, some people are firm and capable of making good decisions for themselves. They are always aware of all the consequences, pros and cons of their actions and choices. At times, they may focus more on the negative part of a situation. They take into account their compatibility with someone according to their preferences and personality whenever they start a relationship. Their love life is often serious, they want to be committed to someone who is looking for a future with them. They also often forget to live in the moment by worrying unnecessarily about their future.

The nature of some people tends to be unpredictable. For them, meditation is helpful as it keeps them focused and prepared for any mood changes or major decisions that they may take. Some are also quite creative and intelligent whereas, in school, we often associate creativity with extrovert behaviour. Some others may be generous and good conversation makers. Including these differences in the curriculum of schools can help students in leading a better life. They should also be taught to prioritise themselves. One’s experiences and personality is one’s own, it is only in one’s power to change them and subsequently, their life. This teaches them to be independent and in charge of their life. 

On the other hand, some people are highly emotional and sensitive. Sometimes, their emotions can be overwhelming and difficult to handle. Yoga, which should be mandatory in schools and colleges, can be like a pillow of comfort which provides them emotional support whenever they lay their head on it by supplying situation-specific solutions. Those who are wise know that they should live in the moment, thus, they never fail to find happiness in small things. Their most prominent qualities may be honesty, living a moment to its fullest, and expressing themselves correctly. As those who are wise speak their mind, the fire in them may come out in the form of an angry outburst. However, expressing anger and being ill-tempered are very different. Those who are ill-tempered, their hot-headedness makes them take decisions that are impulsive, and their ego prevents them from going back on what they have decided. 

Knowledge about these personality variations will not only make students see others in a different light, but also make them more self-aware. They can accordingly work on themselves to be the best version they can be after knowing their flaws. 

Along with people, their perception of who they find refreshing to be around, whose presence can make them forget about their worries and have a refreshing, peaceful moment in a life full of rush also varies.

 From the vast pool of personal experience and exposure, we learn about our own selves. Educational institutions should include activities focused on self-discovery and self-awareness. They are as important as any other subject being taught. 

 

Love



The emotion of love is a blessing to one and all. Everyone needs and wants to be loved in their life. It is said that love blossoms in your life when it is in your destiny. However, it is not always one’s partner who is the most loved, it depends upon their priorities and experiences. For some, their parents are the most important throughout their life, while for others, they may take a backseat when they get married. Love cannot be forced, it grows out of their personal experiences in life. As every personality variates, the definition of love and how they express it also changes. It is not just fellow humans whom we fall in love with, it could be animals, plants or any material. Love, as a feeling, should not be restricted. One should love whoever and whatever they want to love because nothing, not even monetary gains, can give us the joy and happiness this feeling can. 

Here are some things that people love and prioritise-

For some, blood relationships are of the highest importance. They love their family more than anything in the world. It is their cousins who take part in their mischievous plans and subsequently form an unbreakable bond with them. They are their family as well as their friends and, thus, they are the closest to them. Impulsive, confident and generous, some people have an extremely special bond with their mothers. They may the rebellious child of their family and cause troubles to their moms but their love towards them is incomparable. They are often labelled as ‘mamma’s child’ because they prioritise their mothers above everything else. 

Many people forget to live in the present and often replay their certain happy memories instead of creating more. They ones who are hung up on their past. They devote all their love to their ex-partner or someone they previously in their life who may have even done them wrong. They easily fall in love but it is hard for them to stop loving someone. 

Friendship is valued by most and some may even give it the highest priority. Some people are extremely close to their friends. They are someone who is always ready to help others in difficult situations. Their creativity and practical knowledge are at work when they’re with their friends as they always look for new experiences. They are the ones who love their best friends more than anyone else in the world, either in a platonic or romantic way. They consider their best friends as their backbone. 

Leaving the present and the past behind, some people tend to dwell in the future. Constantly planning about their future events, friendships, relationships et cetera they actually forget to admire what’s around them. They may love the image of their future partner the most. They are constantly searching for their perfect mate. In this process, they develop high expectations and a surreal standard for their future.

Many people are self-reliant and passionate and prioritise themselves over others. They endlessly work on themselves to become their best version. They are completely in love with their souls and never hesitate to show that. Self-love is a very important part of everyone.  

It is said by many that pets are human’s best friends. For many, their pets are like their family. Their world would come to a halt if they are away from their pets for a long time. They shower their pets with all their love and provide the absolute best to them. They are the kind of people who feed their pet before they eat themselves.

Thus, love is an emotion which varies for everyone.

Business must define its KPIs so that it become the success of the digital transformation can be far more better and can be measured in the best way. These KPIs should be aligned with the KPIs of the business.

A business must have two kinds of digital business KPIs- one that describes the optimization of current business model and the another one must measure transformative growth.  Unless the business organizations stay updated with the current technology and business solutions, they cannot meet the success in digital transformation and the defined KPIs. Business should update and re-engineer the under-performing applications and systems in order to manage the digital transformation.
