\nHe also linked AcSIR\u2019s mission to the government\u2019s futuristic policies, including the recent BioE3 Biotechnology policy and advancements in quantum technology. \u201cIndia no longer waits to adopt global technologies; we are now leading their development,\u201d he declared.
\nAcSIR\u2019s collaborations with world-renowned institutions such as the University of Western Australia and AIST Japan were highlighted as benchmarks of its academic excellence. The Minister noted that these partnerships validate the global competitiveness of Indian science and education.
\nThe convocation at AcSIR reflected India\u2019s growing scientific prowess and the government\u2019s commitment to fostering a knowledge-driven economy. By blending innovation, entrepreneurship, and academic excellence, institutions like AcSIR are not only transforming education but also shaping India\u2019s path to becoming a global leader in science and technology. Dr. Jitendra Singh\u2019s address underscored this vision, reinforcing the nation\u2019s ambition to achieve \u201cViksit Bharat 2047\u201d and usher in an era of sustainable development and innovation.
