convocation day in my institute
We heard Montec outlining country's economic future by emphasizing on agri/health/edu/infra in coming years.
given some glimpse on data & statistical comparisons with south east Asia.
critically I can say that montec's address was not motivating as it suppose to be. It was lacking inthu & seemed a truly beaurocratic read out.
then normal proceedings happened( prize & degree distributions) as usual.
controversial part which stroked my mind came in last "The Pledge" it was more a ritual then any intended act.
pledge is so idealistic, existing Engineering culture is so practicle(left for your interpretation ) & there is no concerned effort to fill the existing Gap, even in the institute of highest repute & brand value.
Sorry I have to add prefix of brand & I am not happy with it.
