“Population in the world is increasing, think for the need of tomorrow and innovate, we should think for food requirement of the fast-growing population. People have invented to produce meat from vegetation to reduce the water footprint. You should aim to become an employer rather than becoming an employee†said Dr. Prashant Agrawal while addressing the gathering on the occasion.
In the inaugural address, Dr. Vivek Nanoti said ‘Be always in a learning mode, Think, what and how I can contribute to society, simply education can’t fetch you success but a single innovation will take you to a great height. He also suggested innovators to upload their ideas on the site of National Innovation Foundation. Shri Vilas Chaudhari, Shri Abhimanyu Bhelave, Education Officer, Shri M. K. Panda, Curator Raman Science Centre and a large number of school/college students and teachers were present on the occasion.
