Said Prof Neelima S Naik of NITIE, “It’s a matter of great pride that eminent scientist and former President of India Dr APJ Abdul Kalam has agreed to address the fourteenth Convocation at NITIE.”
“Meeting Dr. Kalam as a student carries even more significance as living up to his expectations is a mighty ordeal,” says Anubhav Jain, a first year student of PGDIM at NITIE.
Dr. Kalam has always been involved with students of every sphere. In his words, “The youth is indeed a powerful resource and they are contributing to all sectors of the economy. Youth power indeed becomes more powerful, if every youth has the confidence 'I can do it' and this will result in 'we can do it,' leading to 'the nation will perform.”
