If every engineer works with a vision, the country can grow
by leaps and bounds, Vishnukant S. Chatpalli, Advisor, National Assessment and
Accreditation Council, Bengaluru, said.
He was speaking at the 6th
Graduation Day at Poojya Dooddappa Appa College of Engineering in Kalaburagi on
Sunday. Prof. Chatpalli said Indian engineers have done wonders in the field of
technology and have a major role to play in the development of the nation.
With one of the largest
and youngest populations in the world, India needs to create millions of good
quality jobs in the future to ensure decent living conditions for the vast
majority. India scores well in terms of access to finance for business
development. He said India has for the first time broken into the club of the
100 nations easiest to conduct business in the World Bank’s ‘Doing Business
2018: Reforming to Create jobs Report’ released recently. India jumped 30
places to the 100th rank among 190 countries.
The nation has seen
transformational reforms in the past year with two tectonic changes including
the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax(GST) and the demonetisation of
high-value currencies.
Prof. Chatpalli,
underlining the role of each individual in nation building, emphasized that
success is not inherited but achieved by hard work and enterprise. He called on
outgoing students to choose opportunities to excel in their careers.

Foundation, said the right attitude and discipline are ingredients for success.
