“Technology must not merely serve industry; it must serve nation-building. The defining measure of excellence should be not simply how high an IIT rises, but how much of Bharat rises with it. The IIT of 2047 must be a university without intellectual walls, a national research engine, an innovation foundry, an entrepreneurship platform, a teacher multiplier, a technological living laboratory, a global knowledge node and a public institution accountable to society. Its success must be judged by how many teachers, institutions and communities become stronger because it chose to share its knowledge, infrastructure and opportunities.”

“Education is not just a process of formal skilling for employment, it is also the process through which a citizenry is created. We become voters after being students. Our claim to be a democracy, and even the mother of democracy, appears hollow when our students are denied their rights to unionise and be represented in the administration of higher education institutions. Critical thinking and freedom of expression, which are pillars of academia, cannot be limited to the classroom. An elected student body enables authorities to have a meaningful conversation with legitimate representatives of students. Students are demanding a voice, in their educational institutions to begin with, and in the uppermost echelons of politics if need be.”
