Jamshedpur: Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) chairman Kailasavadivoo Sivan urged young engineers to work on developing technologies keeping contemporary requirements of the people in mind.
“Young engineers should keep Mahatma Gandhi’s thoughts in mind who advocated for local solutions for local problems. Our education and knowledge should be utilised effectively in addressing the unresolved issues of sanitisation, health, drinking water and others,” Sivan said.
The top Isro official was speaking as the chief guest at the 10th convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT-Jamshedpur) for the students of B Tech and M Tech of batches 2016-20 and 2018-20 on Saturday.
